Hairy Bikers' Si King on Coping with the Loss of Dave Myers

Struggling with Grief

Hairy Bikers star Si King opens up about the personal "struggle" he faced after the heartbreaking death of his co-star and best mate, Dave Myers, who passed away at the age of 66 in February after battling cancer.

The Aftermath

Eight months after Dave's passing, Si King, 57, revealed that he contemplated quitting the show, saying, "I'll be honest with you, the past few months have been a struggle." He expressed his anger and grief, mentioning moments of rage and the difficulty of carrying on as normal.

All Change

In June, Si King acknowledged that the Hairy Bikers' foodie series couldn't continue without Dave. He expressed that it would not be "respectful" to carry on as the Hairy Bikers without his late friend. Si mentioned that their next career move would not involve a "Hairy Bikers 2.0" revival.

Si King recently updated fans on his trip to France, using the term "Kingy" in his caption, prompting emotional responses from fans who couldn't help but hear it in Dave's voice. The duo's first series, 'The Hairy Bikers' Cookbook,' aired from 2004 to 2008 on BBC Two, followed by several successful spin-offs.
