Nooooooo. Oh what fucking horrible news. Such a genuinely funny guy.

MabelsBeats · 29/02/2024 10:12

Oh no that is dreadful news, he was such a great guy. I just watched him the night before last in his and Si King’s new series, and I was thinking how great it was that he was back. Very sad.

Dearg · 29/02/2024 10:13

That’s is so very sad. I had thought he was doing better. Seemed like a genuinely lovely man.
RIP Dave.

Alovleyjacket · 29/02/2024 10:13

So sad - RIP Dave

Veggieburgers · 29/02/2024 10:14

That's awful news. Si will miss him so much. Condolences to all his family and friends.

UpUpUpU · 29/02/2024 10:15

That is really sad. It’s not often a celebrity death bothers me but this really has x

AllPlayedOut · 29/02/2024 10:15

How terribly sad.

I was just talking about him the other day and wondered how he was doing. I always enjoyed watching he and Si together. They were always so entertaining. Such great chemistry together.

Sherrystrull · 29/02/2024 10:16

This has really upset me. Such a lovely man. I've been really enjoying the new series and hoped he was on the mend.

TheDowagerDoughnut · 29/02/2024 10:16

Oh no! I saw their Christmas special and latest series and thought he'd turned a corner for the better. I was so pleased for him.

How sad.

devildeepbluesea · 29/02/2024 10:16

Oh no.
I’m genuinely gutted about that.

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 29/02/2024 10:17

That is so sad. He shared my birthday. Such a funny and nice guy. RIP Dave.

LookItsMeAgain · 29/02/2024 10:17

Aw bless - it's just been announced on Morning Live too.

May he rest in peace.

LIZS · 29/02/2024 10:18

Very sad. He worked so hard to get back on his bike and record the series currently being broadcast, but it felt like a last hoorah.

LunaNorth · 29/02/2024 10:18

Si King’s statement has given me goosebumps. He was such a nice man, and their friendship really seemed to be something special.

RIP Dave.

RenoDakota · 29/02/2024 10:18

Oh no. Really sad to hear this. Always love seeing Hairy Bikers re-runs and always wondered how he was doing.

FiveShelties · 29/02/2024 10:19

Very sad, I loved their programmes. They were just so good together.

hellswelshy · 29/02/2024 10:19

So very sad to read this, I was watching the new series the other evening and feeling happy to see him again with Si, doing what they both loved - riding on their bikes and eating great food. Rest In peace 😢

Hobnobswantshernameback · 29/02/2024 10:20

Loved their programmes.
They seemed to have such a genuine lovely friendship
66 is no age

Harrriet · 29/02/2024 10:20

Oh Dave you will be missed, RIP and condolences to your family, best friend Si .

TheDowagerDoughnut · 29/02/2024 10:21

What a shitty disease this is that seems to grab you back down just when you think you're free.

I have family who live with the sword hanging over their head - never really knowing if and when it will drop. It's awful.

BagpussGaveABigYawnAndSettledDownToSleep · 29/02/2024 10:21

So sad to hear this news. He has looked frail and unwell for a while now. Poor Kingy 😢

cerisepanther73 · 29/02/2024 10:22

I liked seeing him with Si and there entertaining cookery travels tv series

Seemed a genuine guy too

Hoping to hear better news about him than this,

R.I.P
Dave Myers
Gone too soon..

DelusionalBrilliance · 29/02/2024 10:23

I really truly believed he had turned a corner and was on the road to recovery, the breaking news story stopped me in my tracks. Gutted 😞 I really hope the family, friends and loved ones are going to be ok, what an awful journey they have all had to go on these past few years.

Rest easy, Dave.

Blueberrycreampie · 29/02/2024 10:24

So sorry to hear this, I've been watching their latest tv series, and I also saw them both on Saturday Kitchen about 3 weeks ago. He was definitely not his usual self on the live programme and you could see it was taking so much effort and energy. Very sad for Si and Dave's lovely family.

bellinisurge · 29/02/2024 10:26

So sad
