Si King recently paid a touching tribute to his late co-star, Dave Myers, during his first TV interview since Dave’s passing.
Appearing on The One Show, the 58-year-old presenter candidly shared how he’s coping with his loss while cherishing the deep bond they had.
The duo had been actively working on their latest project, The Hairy Bikers: Our Family Favourites, before Dave’s death, and Si dedicated himself to completing the book in his friend’s honor.
Honoring Their Legacy
Dave passed away at the age of 66 in February after a long battle with an unspecified cancer, with Si by his side throughout.
While discussing their joint project, Si explained, “It’s the book that Dave and I started before he passed.
I really wanted to finish it in his honor. It’s filled with those recipes that have been a part of our lives for so long.”
He emphasized that their friendship continues even after Dave’s passing.
“Just because Dave’s passed doesn’t mean you stop being a friend. The spirit of our relationship will always be there,” he said.
A Long-Lasting Impact
The impact of this loss has been significant for Si.
“It’s a big adjustment, but I’m coping okay, thank you. I know Dave would have wanted me to keep pushing on,” he shared.
For two decades, Si and Dave collaborated closely, creating beloved cooking shows, books, and live events.
Si is committed to preserving the legacy they built together.
“I want to take care of what we’ve created because it deserves the respect that Dave and I put into it. I’m sure new opportunities will come my way,” he added.
A Special Tribute
In a heartfelt video shared on Facebook back in June, Si talked about their shared vision for Our Family Favourites.
He expressed that it felt only right to publish it.
“We have a new book called Our Family Favourites, and I just wanted to talk about it a little bit.
It’s a book that Dave and I discussed at length, and I want to finish it to honor my best friend,” he shared.
He described the book as a collection of recipes that have remained close to their hearts over the years.
Set to be released in October, Si mentioned, “You can preorder now.”
With his voice trembling, he concluded, “It’s a really special book written with love and in memory of my lovely mate.”
Their Journey Together
Si and Dave first captivated audiences in 2004 with The Hairy Bikers’ Cookbook, a unique blend of cooking and travel show.
The duo embarked on a memorable adventure, riding the length of Portugal in the inaugural episode.
Their journey together has left an indelible mark on both their fans and the culinary world.
