PHONE-IN
Dave Myers, one half of TV cooking duo The Hairy Bikers, has died at the age of 66, two years after revealing he had been diagnosed with cancer. Myers, from Barrow-in-Furness, found fame alongside Si King 20 years ago.
The bearded pair were known for travelling around the UK and the world on their motorbikes, sampling and cooking food from different regions.
King said: "Personally, I am not sure I can put into words on how I feel at the moment. My best friend is on a journey that for now, I can't follow. "I will miss him every day and the bond and friendship we shared over half a lifetime. I wish you God's speed brother; you are and will remain a beacon in this world. See you on the other side. Love ya."
