Si King has shared a positive update on Dave Myers as the Hairy Bikers star continues treatment for cancer.
Appearing on The One Show on Wednesday, Si revealed that while Dave is still undergoing chemotherapy, he is doing well and feeling more positive by the day.
He told Alex Jones and Ronan Keating: ‘It’s going really well, he’s still in the trenches of his chemo and his treatment but all the numbers are going well and he’s stronger by the day and more positive by the day so he’s doing well.’
Si joked: ‘He’s a tough old boot you know, he’s from Barrow in Furness – he’s not going to give up easy! He certainly isn’t, and he’s doing great.’
He also revealed how much the thousands of messages of well-wishes have meant to Dave and his family since he went public with his diagnosis.
Si revealed: ‘Everybody involved with the Bikers and certainly Dave and Lil his wife, and the kids – the amount of love that comes over social media is remarkable and it’s noticed and appreciated and we love it, so thank you.’

Dave had publicly announced he was undergoing cancer treatment in May 2022 revealing that he would be a ‘baldy Biker’ for a while due to the side effects of chemotherapy.
The 65-year-old revealed on his podcast with Si at the time: ‘Anyway Kingy, I’ve got to come clean now, I haven’t been too well recently and basically, I’ve got to have some chemo, you know all this anyway.
‘So this year is going to be a bit quiet for me, I’m not going to be filming, some of the festivals I’m not going to be able to go to, some may be okay but this year’s a bit of a write off for us.

’I have had to speak up about this because I don’t want to hide under a rock, but I would love it if people respected my privacy and just let me get on with it and give Si and our team all the support they need, that would be great. But look, the prognosis is okay, I’m going to be fine.’
He continued on the Agony Uncles podcast: ‘I’ve just got to tuck in, look after myself, eat sensibly and get over this mess, flog books, and be a happy person so within that, that’s where I am.
‘I may be a baldy biker for a while so it’s just a warning. I don’t want to make a fuss about it, I look alright bald actually.’
The One Show airs weekdays from 7pm on BBC One.
