Hairy Biker Si King issues Dave Myers health update after cancer diagnosis

The celebrity chef, 55, appeared at Bolton Food and Drink Festival over the weekend where he presented a cooking demonstration.

King hosted alongside English TV presenter Jenny Powell after Myers was forced to pull out following his diagnosis.

Myers revealed that he was undergoing treatment back in May, making the announcement on the pair's Hairy Bikers Agony Uncles podcast.

Always nice to be back at #boltonfoodfest.

"He's doing canny but as you appreciate he's right in the trenches of it all at the minute but he's getting there, thank God."

Myers and King have known each other since the 1990s and made their first television appearance as the Hairy Bikers in the 2004 BBC programme The Hairy Bikers' Cookbook.

Since then they have presented many different travelogue programmes, combining that with cooking.
