The troubled early life of Hairy Bikers' Dave Myers: Star's widow Lili reveals how star battled childhood sickness, bullying and messy first marriage before his tragic death
The TV star faced his fair share of adversity in his early life too as his wife Lili recalled his childhood and early adulthood in her new memoir Dave & Me.
Lili, who married Dave in 2011, recounted the late star's early years in the emotional book, including his battle with alopecia and his mother's health struggles with multiple sclerosis. 'Against advice from doctors and friends, he travelled in his van (driven by a colleague), back to his home in Aberdeenshire where he was admitted to the Royal Infirmary for an operation to install a shunt to relieve the pressure, plus drains to remove the fluid from the cyst itself,' Lili wrote. He worked on several film sets and did the makeup of stars including Christoper Lambert, Sir Roger Moore, Dennis Hopper, Helen Mirren, Stephanie Beacham, Timothy West, Michael Parkin-son, Vanessa Redgrave and Jane Seymour.
