Speaking to the camera in last night’s episode, Si King could be seen fighting back tears as he praised his close pal and “brother” Dave.
“We’ve done it, and more importantly he’s done it,” he gushed. “I’m his mate but I love him like family, like a brother,” he continued, pausing as he became overwhelmed with tears.
Si admitted: “I’m lost for words. It’s quite remarkable what he’s done.”
“Who knows what the future holds but for the moment I’m living in the present, and it’s pretty fine,” Dave then added in the final scene.
Dave then gave Si a kiss and told him that he loved him. “I love you too,” Si said before the credits rolled.
At the very end of the show, a tribute read: “In loving memory of our friend, Dave Myers.”
Dave Myers/ wife shares message
Earlier this month, Dave Myers’ wife Liliana shared a heartbreaking message to social media.
She wrote: “It amazes me how many hearts he touched and how many people wanted to express their love for what Dave and Si have created for nearly 20 years. I know the Hairy Bikers have been part of your living rooms for such a long time. I feel your loss as much as you feel mine!”
“My husband, David Myers was a larger than life character and he did everything with passion, enthusiasm and generosity of spirit. His energy was endless when it came to cooking and talking recipes, or biking and talking bikes. An amazing storyteller!”
“An exceptional husband, wonderful stepdad, loyal friend and in his own words, a creator, never a follower.
“I feel I’m grieving with a whole nation… and this is something special. My wonderful Dave.”
