LONDON (AP) — Dave Myers, best known as one half of Britain's adored “Hairy Bikers” TV chef duo, has died after a battle with cancer, his co-star and long-time friend Si King said Thursday. He was 66.
Myers and King found fame in the U.K. and beyond with their “Hairy Bikers” TV series, an unlikely combination of motorbike travel show, humor and cookery program. The formula proved hugely successful and the bearded duo has published more than 25 cookbooks.
Myers first announced he was receiving treatment for cancer in 2022. He didn't provide details about his diagnosis.
King said in a post on social media that Myers died peacefully at home Wednesday.
