Si King, the beloved TV chef and one half of the iconic Hairy Bikers, has shared a deeply moving tribute to his late co-star and best friend, Dave Myers. Myers, who passed away in February 2024 after a brave battle with cancer, was remembered by King in an emotional social media post.
A Friendship Beyond the Screen
King took to Instagram to post a touching photo of the duo, captioning it with heartfelt words about their unbreakable bond. "Not a day goes by where I don’t think about you, mate," he wrote. "You were more than a friend—you were family."
The pair first met in the 1990s and quickly became inseparable, both on and off-screen. Their chemistry was undeniable, making them one of the most beloved culinary duos in British television history.
Fans Rally Around Si King
Fans of the Hairy Bikers flooded the comments section with messages of support, sharing their own memories of Myers and expressing their admiration for King’s strength during this difficult time.
One fan wrote: "You two brought so much joy to our lives. Dave will never be forgotten." Another added: "Sending you love, Si. Your friendship was truly special."
A Legacy of Laughter and Good Food
Myers and King became household names with their hit BBC series, which combined their love for motorbikes, travel, and hearty cooking. Their down-to-earth personalities and infectious humour won them millions of fans worldwide.
Even after Myers’ diagnosis, the pair continued to work together, filming their final series, The Hairy Bikers: Go West, which aired posthumously in his honour.
King’s tribute serves as a poignant reminder of the deep friendship they shared—one that transcended fame and left an indelible mark on British television.
