Very sad news.

mrswhiplington · 29/02/2024 10:28

So sad to hear this news. We've been enjoying the new series and really hoped he was getting better. Poor Si will miss him so much.

kautosta · 29/02/2024 10:29

I'm so saddened to hear this. RIP Dave

KitchenSinkLlama · 29/02/2024 10:29

Very sad news. He seemed like a lovely man.

AnneShirleysNewDress · 29/02/2024 10:29

Such sad news. His friendship with Si was so lovely.

NeedthatFridayfeeling · 29/02/2024 10:31

Very sad news, loved their shows and such a nice guy. RIP Dave

Oh bloody hell, literally just took my breath away. So very very sad 😔

Blackcats7 · 29/02/2024 10:33

This is truly awful. I love their programmes and I don’t even like cooking but loved the chat.
Such a lovely, lovely man.
I watched his show where he spoke about his cancer and thought how well he did it. As someone with cancer myself I am fed up with the way we are spoken about as brave/tragic. We are just normal people going through crap. That’s it.
I thought he had turned a corner too but with this shitty disease and toll the treatments can take you can never be sure.
Just so sad. What a loss.

afaloren · 29/02/2024 10:35

Oh no Sad I thought he was better because they’d made the new series. Si King’s statement made me well up. Rest in peace x

Redsquirrel5 · 29/02/2024 10:36

Sad to hear that I watched the new series. I thought he was looking better. He lived not far from us and I have a friend who knew him.She will be upset, said he was a lovely man. Cancer is a b😪

Cocolapew · 29/02/2024 10:41

Very sad news, theirs was the only cooking show I ever watched.

PilatesPeach · 29/02/2024 10:42

Terribly sad news I did enjoy their shows and their genuine friendship - he came across as a lovely guy

Plump82 · 29/02/2024 10:43

I just read about it on Instagram. How very sad. I really love them both. Poor Si, he'll be lost without him.

CorylusAgain · 29/02/2024 10:44

😢

IvorTheEngineDriver · 29/02/2024 10:45

Now that is very sad news.

MaggieFS · 29/02/2024 10:47

Oh no. That is sad 😢

ApolloandDaphne · 29/02/2024 10:47

That's very sad. I love watching them travel and cook together. Their Hairy Dieters cookbooks are my staple go to books.

Athena51 · 29/02/2024 10:47

I absolutely love Si and Dave and I am genuinely gutted. RIP Dave.

AdriftAbroad1 · 29/02/2024 10:48

This news is so awful.
I loved watching them together. I had a feeling recently as Kingy seemed so protective of him. He knew he was dying.

So sad. So, so sad.

evilharpy · 29/02/2024 10:49

Very sad news. I always thought their shows were so joyful and their friendship was lovely, such lovely chaps. Big lump in my throat reading Si's statement, it must be heartbreaking for him.

twobluechickens · 29/02/2024 10:54

Like others I was really hoping he was on the mend. Seemed like a kind, gentle man and funny too (goes for both of them). RIP Dave.

ShakeNvacStevens · 29/02/2024 10:58

Such sad news, I’d thought he was on the mend too with his new series. RIP.

EsmaCannonball · 29/02/2024 10:58

Oh, this is really sad. Like others, I had assumed that because he had started to return to television recently he was making a recovery. I know a few people who met him and he was never anything but warm and lovely. He had such a hard start in life as a child carer but always emphasised that, despite the hardship, he grew up loved and cared for.

wantmorenow · 29/02/2024 11:03

So sad - alos thought he had turned a corner and was on the mend.

Jemimapuddleduk · 29/02/2024 11:04

Incredibly sad news. We adore the TV series and have all the books, such joyful feel good tv and the most delicious food. Feel so sad for his family and friends, especially Si.
