Tributes have flooded in for Dave Myers following the death of the Hairy Bikers star - and the latest episode of the final "magical" series he made with best friend Si King is airing as planned on Tuesday night (March 5). Myers, one half of the motorcycle-riding cooking duo, died last week after a battle with cancer.
But he would have wanted fans to enjoy the series he shot with his co-star before his death at the age of 66, according to a post on the TV chefs’ Instagram page. The pair’s latest BBC Two series, The Hairy Bikers Go West, returned on February 6.
The post said: "Despite such sad times we know that Dave would have wanted you to continue to enjoy the magical series that he shot with Si last year. We’d like to thank everyone from all over the world, who has reached out with messages of love and support over the last few days. Every one of them has been read and truly appreciated."

The Hairy Bikers returned to TV in February with The Hairy Bikers Go West on BBC Two. The seven-part show is billed as a "celebration of enduring friendship and a passion for quality food, flavours and produce" with the much-loved duo travelling down the west coast of the UK.
