Dave Myers has shared a heartwarming message with fans in the latest episode of The Hairy Bikers Go West after reuniting with his pal Si King.
The new series sees Dave and Si travel to the west coast of the UK after the former finished up his cancer treatment.
The type of cancer he has been suffering from has not been specified by the TV presenter but it was revealed that he had been receiving treatment since May 2022.
The Hairy Bikers star previously took a break from presenting before returning to our TV screens for the pair's Go West series.
Hairy Bikers star Dave Myers shares heartwarming message after reuniting with Si King
In the latest BBC episode, the two explored Lancashire, the county in which Dave Myers was born.
At the end of the show, the pair decided to reflect on their travels together with both of them making emotional statements.
Si said: "It’s great getting back here with my best mate. We didn’t think 18 months ago that we’d be on the bikes again wandering around Dave’s backyard and it's wonderful that we are."
A smiling Dave added: "It’s been glorious. The motorcycling's been glorious. What can I say... it feels so good to be alive!"
This comes after Si King praised Dave for making a return to TV despite his troubles, saying: "It's a series that we will always remember, not that we won’t remember others.
"We are very privileged to do what we do and I think this one was particularly special in general because of Dave’s health and his sheer and utter determination and love for what he does.
"Especially to continue to do it while he was having treatment took remarkable courage and energy – and adds to why Dave and I will not forget it."
