The death of Dave Myers following a battle with cancer was announced today. Tributes for the Hairy Bikers star have poured in.

Now James Martin and other celeb chefs have paid tribute to Hairy Bikers’ star Dave, who was battling the disease for close to two years. “Last night, on 28th February 2024, with Lili, Dave’s wife, his family, close friend David, and myself by his side, he passed away peacefully at home,” he then continued. “In the world of ‘celeb’ you never know if anybody is going to be as nice as you hoped their persona suggests… In Dave‘s case he was everything and more, and we took great pride (and amusement) in playing opposite each other as father & daughter in Cinderella & the tomfoolery that ensued on & off stage.
