Dave Myers’ wife breaks her silence after Hairy Bikers star’s tragic death saying ‘my heart is full of love’
DAVE Myers' wife Lili has spoken out for the first time since her husband's tragic death.
On February 29 Dave's friend and co-star Si King - who was one half of the Hairy Bikers duo - revealed that the TV star had died aged 66.
The beloved TV chef had battled cancer since 2022, but on the evening of February 28 he passed away.
Today Lili, who tied the knot with Dave in 2011, took to the Hairy Bikers' official Instagram to share a message with fans.
Lili said: "I will never be able to thank you all enough for the massive wave of love, compassion and care that you have shown towards me, Simon and our families in these past days since Dave passed.
"I want you all to know that I have read every single message and comment that you sent… your stories about Dave, your feelings you shared with me mean a lot and my heart is filled with gratitude and love.

"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 and 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!
"And through his stories and TV appearances he was constantly inspiring and encouraging people to cook, travel, to live their life to the fullest.
"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 ♥️
"- Lili Myers."
Many rushed to the comments section to share their love and support.
One fan said: "He will be missed!"
Another added: "God bless such a wonderful chap xx."
A third chimed in: "Beautiful words he was simply a Legend."
Dave found fame alongside Si as part of the motorcycle-riding cooking duo.
The telly legend first shared that he was receiving cancer treatment for cancer in May 2022.
Confirming the heartbreaking news on Twitter last week, Si said: "Hi everyone, I'm afraid I bear some sad news.
"Most of you will know Dave has been fighting cancer for the past couple of years.
"Last night, on 28th February 2024, with Lili, Dave's wife, his family, close friend David and myself by his side, he passed away peacefully at home.
"All who knew Dave are devastated at his passing. His beloved wife brought him such happiness as did her children, Iza and Sergiu who Dave loved like his own.
"Personally, I am not sure I can put into words on how I feel at the moment. My best friend is on a journey that for now, I can't follow.
