00:00 We were just saying just a few minutes ago some really really sad breaking news this morning that

00:05 one half of the TV cooking duo the Hairy Bikers, Dave Myers, has died at the age of 66. He revealed

00:11 he'd been diagnosed with cancer two years ago. I was just thinking about him now because you know

00:16 the boys used to love doing things like this together didn't they? And Cy King, the other half

00:21 of Hairy Bikers, we're just reading a statement this morning saying "my best friend is on a journey

00:26 that for now I can't follow. I miss him every day and the bond and friendship we shared over half a

00:31 lifetime. I wish you Godspeed brother, you are and will remain a beacon in this world." I was reading

00:37 that for the first time actually and we've met the guy so many times it's so sad because he's

00:42 such a lovely smiley, remember him Strictly as well? Oh such a gorgeous human being really.

00:47 Dave and his family.
