Hairy Bikers fans were left “broken” and emotional after the last episode of Hairy Bikers Go West aired on Tuesday night (19 March), following the death of Dave Myers last month.
Myers, from Barrow-in-Furness, found fame alongside his best friend and partner Si King as the pair travelled the world on their motorbikes, trying foods from different regions on their TV show The Hairy Bikers.
It marked the duo’s final onscreen appearance together before Myers died of cancer at the age of 66, on 28 February.
The last episode of the seven-part series aired on BBC Two and saw the pair visit Lympstone Manor in Devon, run by Michelin-starred chef Michael Caines.
Myers underwent chemotherapy throughout the 650-mile road trip along Britain’s west coast, and is seen saying: “Who knows what the future holds but for the moment, I’m living in the present, and it’s pretty fine.
“I’ve had a blast, lovely landscape, new friends and great food. And the two of us back together, doing what we do best.
“The west really will be a trip to remember. It has been amazing, love you.”
King appeared to hold back tears as he said he was “lost for words”, adding: “It’s quite remarkable what he’s done.”

He praised his co-star, adding: “This is a pay-off to your hard work, to your will, to your effort.” A beaming Myers responded: ‘It’s a dream come true Kingy…”
As the episode drew to a close they are seen sitting together reflecting on the trip. A visibly moved King said: “Well, we’ve made it.”

In their final ever onscreen moments, Myers replied: “And it’s been tough at times. You know I’ve had chemotherapy all the time we’ve been filming, it hasn’t been easy, but we’ve got there you know and it’s just a wonderful feeling. Being here with you, I long for this.”
King said that he loves Myers “like family, like a brother”. The episode ended with a final shot of them reflecting on their “amazing” journey together as they hug and say they love each other.
