Dave Myers RIP

[Redshoeblueshoe]

Just announced on the BBC.
Very sad to hear this news

Just saw Si King's statement on twitter and it moved me to tears. I was watching one of their programmes last week and he looked really ill, i don't think I'd have recognised him if I'd seen him on his own or not known what i was watching.

This is really sad news. I’ve been watching and very much enjoying their latest series. RIP Dave.

RIP Dave. So very sad.

I'm not a fan of cooking programs but I really liked watching them. They were so passionate about what they did and were just nice guys. I also loved their diet books. They really helped me get on track to lose weight.
Dave trained at our local gym when he was on Strictly. I never saw him but dh did and said he was very nice.

So sad. I went to see them.a few years ago on one of their tours. It was a great show.
Rest in peace Dave, a lovely guy 😢

Such sad news. Cancer's a bastard. He was so young. Properly upset about this.

Very sad news about a very nice bloke. I'm glad he got to do a last hurrah and hope he really enjoyed it, and glad to hear he went surrounded by his family and close friends. Wishing them all strength and solace, and privacy.

This is such sad news. He seemed like a genuinely lovely guy and I thought he was doing better. Si must be devastated.

Such a shame, he seemed to be doing so well. RIP x

Actually got tears in my eyes reading this. How very sad.

RIP Dave. He presented my DD with her Gold DofE and was absolutely lovely.

Gutting.
He really didn't look well on TV a few weeks ago as another PP mentioned.
I love Dave and Si's bond and friendship. I'm sure it'll hit hard but I suspect he may have had time to prepare. If you can ever prepare.

A great loss. Bike in peace Dave.

Absolutely gutted. He'd been through so much. At least he is in peace now. So sad 💔💔💔

Such very sad news. He seemed like a genuinely nice man.
RIP Dave😪

So very sad to hear this. He seemed a genuinely nice man and he and Si had such a strong friendship.
I hope his family and friends (especially Si) get some little comfort from reading tributes, here and elsewhere, to him.
RIP Dave

Just to add also, he did an episode of Comfort Eating with Grace Dent and talked about his early life, it's really worth a listen.

Oh no, this is such awful news. I really loved their shows. He was such an articulate, intelligent, witty man. He had a wonderful way with words and could describe the food so eloquently. I loved to listen to him talk while he cooked.

Such sad sad news. Like some pps I thought he had turned a corner so reading this news this morning really shook me.

I'm generally pretty pragmatic about celebrity deaths, but this has genuinely upset me. He came across as a really lovely, gentle man and his friendship with Si was a lovely thing to watch. I saw the Christmas special, which was lovely.

I thought the presenter was going to cry.

Sad news

Kym seemed particularly close to tears, probably because her father died of cancer only a few weeks ago.

This is very sad. They were lovely together.

The piece on the BBC is a really fantastic tribute to him - so many people who thought really highly of him - and such an interesting life story with a difficult start and unusual entry into his BBC career. Really inspirational guy.

So very sad. I too assumed he was recovering, certainly wasn't expecting this awful news.

i always anticipated them growing old & still doing road trips on modified bikes.

cancer is a cruel bastard.

poor Si.

much love to them both, Dave's family & all his friends.

💔
