Hairy Bikers star Dave Myers’ huge fortune has been revealed following his tragic death aged 66.
The TV chef passed away last week with his friends and family by his side, two years after he revealed he was undergoing treatment for an unspecified type of cancer.
In accounts filed January 31 Dave’s production company, which he owned with wife Liliana Orzac was worth £1.4M and made a profit of £200K in the previous 12-months.
Meanwhile his and co-star Si King’s Hairy Bikers Television was worth £92K – bringing the lates star’s overall fortune to almost £1.5M.
Dave was survived by wife Liliana and her two children Izabelle and Sergiu.
It comes after Saturday Kitchen viewers were left in tears after the BBC show paid tribute to Dave.
As tributes have poured in all week, the cooking show shared their own montage of Dave’s best bits as host Matt Tebbutt honoured the star.
Speaking to the camera at the beginning of the show, Matt made the emotional address as he began: ‘Now as I’m sure you know, this has been a very sad week as we lost someone very close to the show. Dave Myers who was one half of the Hairy Bikers, along with Si King.
‘They’ve been on the show countless times over the last 18 years and even hosted it a few times. We were privileged to have Dave back in the studio last October, after he was recovering from another round of treatment.
‘He then bravely got back on his bike and continued with his TV life with Si. But sadly cancer took him from us far too soon.’
Matt then revealed the show plan to air a whole show dedicated to Dave at a later date.
He continued: ‘We hope to stage a full tribute show for Dave in due course but here is a little montage to remind you why we loved him so much.’
As the montage played the BBC captured Dave’s sense of humour and abundant energy throughout his many appearances on the show.
In the hilarious clips one showed Dave struggling to get a pudding out of a bowl as it collapsed on the plate.
Another saw Dave showcasing his singing talents as he belted out Don’t Cry For Me Argentina in one memorable episode.
Si and Dave’s strong friendship was also clear as Dave kissed his pal on the cheek as they displayed their effortless camaraderie.
And fans were beside themselves after watching the clip as they took to Twitter to share their condolences after being brought to tears
Si announced the news of Dave’s sad passing in a heart-wrenching statement on Thursday: ‘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. I will miss him every day and the bond and friendship we shared over half a lifetime.
‘I wish you god’s speed brother; you are and will remain a beacon in this world. See you on the other side. Love ya.’
