WE shared the news that TV chef Si King said, “there is no Hairy Bikers without Dave.”
Dave Myers died in February at the age of 66 after suffering from cancer and he was one half of the motorcycle-riding cooking duo with co-presenter King.
King sat down with The Observer and discussed learning of Dave’s cancer diagnosis, losing his “best mate” and what the future holds for him.
In an interview with journalist and food critic Jay Rayner for The Observer, King said he has started to “think about what I want to do” following Myers’ death.
Here's what readers thought.
Ollie Wilburn said: "I truly understand, love watching you both as Hairy Bikers, but now everything has changed. Especially for you Si."
Shirley Wood said: "So very sad. l really feel for Si losing his friend."
Sarah Kenney added: "Si you take care, lots of love to a wonderful man. No one can do what you and Dave were doing, there was no one like you. I have enjoyed every episode, you are both brilliant. You have to do what you think is right. Take time out, do whatever you need to do, take care, lots of love."
Chrissy North said: "Early days, all will come in divine timing."
Maureen Brunt commented: "It will be such a shame if you stop we love you."
Ian Curtis added: "I hope you find some way or another to make a TV comeback."
