HAIRY Biker Dave Myers has praised his co-star Si King as he gave an update on his cancer battle.

Barrow born Dave said he was ‘doing alright’ when talking to BBC Radio Cumbria.

“I’ve had quite a lot of chemotherapy now, but it’s working,” said Dave. “All the numbers are in the right direction, my hairs growing back, my beards coming back, so it’s a long job.”

The TV chef says he has ‘good days and bad days’ and says the help of his long-time friend Si has been ‘indispensable’.

UK Voter said: "As a cancer sufferer myself who has family in France I would be interested to know if his treatment was in France or Kent."

Graham Stuart said: "Great news, love watching you and Si, so down to earth and great friends. Si should shave his hair off and you two could do a new cooking show called " the Bald Bikers." Speedy recovery."

Robert Corran said: "Good Luck Dave for being frank, open and honest about your condition, it can only help others understand their own fight. Look forward to seeing you back on TV as soon as possible. Indeed, as you say a life changing experience."

Twm Sion Catu said: "Good to know he's on the mend."

Notanother1 said: "Hope Dave makes a full and speedy recovery."

Local dog said: "Frank and honest account of where he has been and now is. We are all rooting for you Dave. Can't wait to see you back to a normal life and giving us all something to cheer."
