Dave Myers’ heartbreaking final words on screen are revealed as best friend Si King chokes back tears during the last ever Hairy Bikers episode

Dave Myers admitted filming with best friend Si King was a ‘dream come true’ in his emotional final TV appearance, which airs tonight.

The TV chef, 66, died last month, two years after revealing he was undergoing treatment for an unspecified form of cancer.

Viewers will see his final on-screen appearance oTuesday evening, with the BBC airing the broadcast closing episode of The Hairy bikers Go west.

In Dave and Si’s final scenes together, they conclude their incredible journey as they talk about how much the tour meant to them, telling each other they love each other and embracing through tears.

Dave received chemotherapy while filming the 600-mile west coast road trip, and as the journey came to an end in Devon and Dorset he poignantly commented: ‘Who knows what the future holds, but right now I’m living in the present , and it’s pretty good.’

He continued: ‘We had a fantastic time, beautiful scenery, new friends and delicious food.

‘And the two of us are together again, doing what we do best. The West will truly be a trip you will never forget,

“It was great, I love you.”

Fighting back tears as he struggled to find the words to express himself, Si admitted, “I’m just out of words. It’s quite remarkable what he’s done.’

BBC Two has continued to air Dave’s latest Hairy Bikers series, with the iconic duo continuing to tour some of their favorite spots in Britain.

And following news of Dave’s death last month, the pair’s strong friendship and their love of adventure and good food seems even more poignant.

The latest series saw the pair explore a watercress farm, a rum distillery and fishmongers in Exmouth, saving the best for last as they ended the series with a visit to Michael Caines’ Michelin-starred Lympstone Manor.

As the couple explored the chef’s vineyard, Dave said, “You know, this is such a special trip for the two of us.”

“You know, after the last 18 months and knowing you for several years now, Michael and I can honestly say I couldn’t think of a better highlight!”

Dave sits down for a meal in the beautiful restaurant and looks full of happiness as he tucks into the delicious food with his best friend.

He jokingly commented, “I feel like I’m Cleopatra, sitting in a tub of ass milk, you know what I mean?”

As Michael asked confused: ‘Where did that come from Si?’, the Geordie chef replied: ‘Listen, I’ve had 25 years of this guy, it’s like comparisons, I still don’t know to this day where they come from’ .

The strong friendship between the pair is clearer than ever, as Dave continued: ‘It’s been about 650 miles this journey.

“We’ve been on the road for almost twenty years now, you know, from the Baltic Sea to Africa, we’ve always found something good and also the camaraderie and friendship around the table.”

Michael teased, “Well, it only took you twenty years to find me, but I’m so glad you’re here,” while Si added, “But you know we saved the best for last!”

As the episode came to a close, Si reflected, “Well, we made it.”

Dave continued, “And it was tough at times. You know, I was in chemotherapy the whole time we were filming, it wasn’t easy, but we’re here, you know, and it’s just an amazing feeling. Now that I’m here with you, I long for this.

Choking back tears, Si said, “We did it, but more importantly, he did it. He’s my buddy, but I love him like family, like a brother, and… I’m at a loss for words. It’s quite remarkable what he’s done.

“This is a reward for your hard work, your will, your efforts,” he added, as Dave admitted: “It’s a dream come true, Kingy…

‘The two of us are back together and doing what we do best. The West will truly be a journey you will never forget.’

As the two embraced in one final hug before the end credits, they said, “It was amazing,” as Si agrees, “It is, bro, it is.”

Dave kissed him on the cheek and said, “I love you,” and Si replied, “I love you too,” as the couple’s television tour came to an end.

After the credits rolled, a tribute read: “In loving memory of our friend, Dave Myers.”

Dave was filming his final show last year, which had only just aired on BBC Two, when Si announced his friend had died.

The BBC decided to continue broadcasting the series as a tribute.

The week after his death, the Hairy Bikers Instagram page announced that they would still air the remaining episodes because Dave “would have wanted to.”

A caption on a photo of the double act next to a steam train read: ‘The next episode of Go West is on BBC2 tonight. Despite such sad times, we know Dave would have wanted you to continue to enjoy the magical series he created with Si last year.”

‘We would like to thank everyone from around the world who has sent messages of love and support over the past few days. They have all been read and highly appreciated.

Previous episodes in the series showed Si filming solo while Dave continued his treatment.

When the TV chef was left without his significant other, Si shared some heartfelt words as he reflected on how strange it felt to be without his partner.

He admitted: “I really wish my best friend was here because he would absolutely love this,” before adding: “It’s strange without him.”

The Hairy Bikers have always been a double act, and Si admitted he found it strange traveling alone by bike.

“I especially didn’t enjoy riding alone, but I’m going to bring him back some produce and start nibbling on it. It’s strange without him.’

When Dave returned to visit a historic railway line in Portmadog, he harbored a lifelong ambition to drive a steam train.

The star explained: ‘When I visited this area as a young lad, Bob would have already been working on these impressive locomotives. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the money to ride these rails at the time, so this trip feels all the more special.”

After watching his good friend go through the experience, Si said, “It was fun seeing my best friend drive a train. It was just lovely to see a smile on his face because he was having a bloody hard time.’

Dave added: “I missed this, last year Kingy, such a terrible year,” before continuing with the heartbreaking words: “Thirty years we’ve been talking nonsense, and yet it goes on for a long time.”

Dave announced he was receiving treatment for cancer in May 2022 and bravely kept the public informed of his progress in a series of emotional TV specials.

He died in late February with his family and friends by his side, including his lifelong friend Si.

It was Si who announced the sad news of Dave’s death and shared a tribute on social media.

The final episode of Hairy Bikers Go West airs on BBC Two on Tuesday at 8pm
