A new Liberal Party senator has called for a reduction in immigration levels in Australia until housing supply can keep up with rapid population growth.

A record number of 518,000 migrants moved to Australia in the last financial year. The updated figures published on Thursday are expected to show an even higher influx for 2022-2023.

The rate of Australian population growth is at its highest level since the early 1950s, with the net immigration rate more than double the 2007 mining boom level.

Dave Sharma, the former MP for the Sydney seat of Wentworth who revived his political career as a Liberal senator for New South Wales, says immigration must be reduced until Australia can provide adequate housing.

“The housing shortage is exacerbated by high immigration, which fuels demand for an already limited supply,” he said in his first speech to the Senate on Wednesday afternoon.

“Until we can accelerate the pace of our housing construction, we must reduce our immigration inflows, otherwise we will only put further pressure on our housing market.”

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has gone further and called for an immediate halt to immigration, something Australia has not seen since the 2020 and 2021 pandemic.

“On behalf of the majority of Australians, I demand a halt to immigration,” she said.

“For years the Australian people have been telling us we need to reduce immigration.

‘To keep the numbers low. To put the interests of Australians who live here ahead of the interests of foreigners who do not.”

With Australia’s rental vacancy rate at a record one per cent, Senator Hanson said Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had ignored calls to stop high immigration.

“They are heard in the growing line of people waiting to inspect a single property in the hope of securing a rental,” she said.

“They are being heard at family dinner tables as Australians struggle to find the money for massive rent increases amid our cost of living crisis.

“They can be heard in the daily traffic jams as record numbers of immigrants flood our cities and increase traffic congestion.”

Australia’s population growth rate of 2.4 percent is the highest since the early 1950s.

Sydney’s average house price of $1.396 million would require someone to earn more than $200,000 a year to even qualify for a home loan, CoreLogic data showed.

A worker with an average income of $98,218 can only afford a house worth up to $639,000, which would not buy the average-priced house in the capital worth $949,410.

Senator Sharma said unaffordable housing risks causing major social problems.

“Today’s younger Australians have done everything we asked of them,” he said.

“They’ve finished school, gotten a degree, found a job, paid taxes, and yet they find that no matter how much they earn or how hard they save, owning their own home is out of their reach.

“This is a violation of our social contract and if left unchecked, we are storing up huge problems for the future.

“We will undermine social mobility in Australia and entrench inequality.”

With Sydney home to a greater proportion of new migrants, Senator Sharma said the undersupply of housing was particularly prevalent in NSW.

“The failure here is largely a matter of supply,” he said.

“Consistently, over the past 20 years, we have simply failed to build enough new homes to meet the demand of the Australian population, and this problem is particularly acute in my home state of New South Wales.”

A record number of 518,000 migrants moved to Australia in the last financial year. Updated figures due on Thursday are expected to show even greater inflows for 2022-2023 (pictured is Sydney’s Wynyard train station)

In the year to September, Australia built 109,322 homes and 60,813 units, construction activity data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows.

The 170,215 newly completed homes would house 425,538 homes, based on an average household size of 2.5 people per home at the last census.

The supply of new homes would leave a deficit of 92,462, based on new migrants.

Senator Sharma pointed out that NSW only builds 32,000 homes a year, which is well below the post-World War II level of 40,000, when Australia had a population of 7.4 million, down from 26.6 million people today.

‘We have to do better. “We need to enable more homes to be built, faster and cheaper, or we will leave Australia behind,” he said.

Last year he replaced former Foreign Minister Marise Payne as Liberal Senator for NSW and was previously Liberal Member for Wentworth in Sydney’s east until he was defeated by Teal independent Allegra Spender at the last election in 2022.

Australia’s former ambassador to Israel warned that anti-Semitism is a major threat following the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks.

“What we have seen in recent months has clearly crossed the Rubicon and left one community and one community alone – the Australian Jewish community – feeling unwelcome in their own country, fearful in their own neighborhoods and worried about the future what they have to deal with. here,” he said.

‘This is completely unacceptable. It’s also incredibly dangerous.’

Het Hairy Bikers-team heeft na de dood van Dave Myers een oprechte oproep gedaan voor ‘dringende’ hulp om zijn dierbare vriend Si King te beschermen.

De tv-kok, 66, overleed vorige maand, twee jaar nadat hij onthulde dat hij een behandeling onderging voor een niet nader gespecificeerde vorm van kanker.

Si is radeloos door de dood van zijn tegenspeler, en nu gebruiken oplichters zijn naam.

Hun officiële sociale mediapagina schreef op Facebook: ‘Velen van jullie hebben ons een e-mail gestuurd om erop te wijzen dat er nepprofielen verschijnen op Facebook en Instagram, de laatste is van Si King.

‘Ons team heeft de afgelopen twee weken wanhopig geprobeerd Meta, de eigenaren van Facebook en Instagram, deze nepprofielen te laten verwijderen, zonder succes.

Hun officiële sociale mediapagina schreef op Facebook: ‘Velen van jullie hebben ons een e-mail gestuurd om erop te wijzen dat er nepprofielen op Facebook en Instagram verschijnen, de laatste is van Si King.’

‘Hieronder ziet u een screenshot van een neppagina. Je zult merken dat er geen ‘Blue Tick’ naast de naam ‘Si King’ staat. Er zijn gevallen waarin een ‘post’ een link bevat naar een Bitcoin-zwendel waarin om donaties wordt gevraagd aan een liefdadigheidsinstelling tegen kanker in naam van Dave Myers. Wees gerust, dit is in geen enkele vorm echt.

Het bericht vervolgde: ‘Hoe u ons kunt helpen, ten eerste: als u voor het nepprofiel bent gevallen en er momenteel 1000 zijn, ontvolg dan deze profielpagina, aangezien uw informatie kan worden doorverkocht. Ten tweede, rapporteer het nepprofiel aan Facebook.

‘Dit doe je door op de 3 stippen rechtsboven op de betreffende pagina te klikken. Er wordt een vervolgkeuzelijst geopend en van daaruit ziet u een optie ‘Ondersteuning zoeken of rapporteren’. Selecteer vervolgens ‘Doen alsof u iets bent’ en selecteer vervolgens ‘Beroemdheid’. Typ ‘Hairy Bikers’ in en je ziet onze paginanaam in het vak verschijnen. Dan kunt u ‘Verzenden’.

‘Om de verwarring nog groter te maken, kopiëren de mensen achter de zwendel berichten die we daadwerkelijk naar onze eigen pagina uploaden. Als jullie allemaal meedoen en de nep melden, kan Facebook wakker worden als ze zo’n 600.000 rapporten in hun inbox zien. #MarkZuckerberg opgelet!

‘Wij waarderen uw hulp en vriendelijkheid enorm. Help ons dit te laten vallen. Het staat niet op naam van de Hairy Bikers. Schokkend gebrek aan actie van Meta.’

Het komt nadat de fans van Hairy Bikers emotioneel werden toen ze Dave’s laatste aflevering ooit met co-ster Si keken, die dinsdag werd uitgezonden.

In de emotionele slotscènes rondden Dave en Si hun ongelooflijke reis af en nadat de aftiteling was gerold, luidde een eerbetoon: ‘In liefdevolle herinnering aan onze vriend, Dave Myers’.

Het duo vertelde hoeveel de tour voor hen betekende en vertelde elkaar dat ze van elkaar houden.

BBC-kijkers barstten in tranen uit bij het zien van zijn hartverscheurende slotscènes, met één penning op sociale mediaplatform X: ‘Dit is een moeilijk horloge’

Een ander schreef: ‘Wat een aardige man Dave Myers was. Zo blij dat ze samen nog een laatste avontuur beleefden’

‘Kijk naar Hairy Bikers en ik ben al kapot’

‘Twee minuten na de laatste Hairy Bikers ooit, en ik huil nu al, vooral toen Dave zei: “laten we deze laatste kilometers laten tellen”.

Dave kreeg chemotherapie tijdens het filmen voor de 1000 kilometer lange roadtrip langs de westkust en toen de reis ten einde liep in Devon en Dorset, merkte hij aangrijpend op: ‘Wie weet wat de toekomst brengt, maar voorlopig woon ik in het heden, en het is best goed.’

Hij vervolgde: ‘We hebben het fantastisch gehad, een prachtig landschap, nieuwe vrienden en heerlijk eten.

‘En wij tweeën zijn weer samen en doen waar we goed in zijn. Het westen wordt echt een reis om nooit te vergeten,

‘Het was geweldig, ik hou van je’.

Si onderdrukte de tranen terwijl hij worstelde om de woorden te vinden om zichzelf uit te drukken, en gaf toe: ‘Ik heb gewoon geen woorden. Het is heel opmerkelijk wat hij heeft gedaan.’

BBC Two is doorgegaan met het uitzenden van Dave’s laatste Hairy Bikers-serie, waarin het iconische duo doorgaat met toeren langs enkele van hun favoriete plekken in Groot-Brittannië.

Na het nieuws over het overlijden van Dave vorige maand lijkt de sterke vriendschap tussen het paar en hun liefde voor avontuur en lekker eten nog aangrijpender.

In de laatste serie verkende het duo een waterkersboerderij, een rumdistilleerderij en visverkopers in Exmouth, waarbij ze het beste tot het laatst bewaarde toen ze de serie afsloten met een bezoek aan Lympstone Manor, met een Michelin-ster van Michael Caines.

Terwijl het paar de wijngaard van de chef-kok verkende, zei Dave: ‘Weet je, dit is zo’n speciale reis voor ons tweeën.

‘Weet je, na de afgelopen 18 maanden en we kennen je nu al een aantal jaren, Michael en ik kunnen eerlijk zeggen dat ik geen beter hoogtepunt kon bedenken!’

Dave gaat zitten voor een maaltijd in het prachtige restaurant en ziet er vol geluk uit terwijl hij zich tegoed doet aan het heerlijke eten met zijn beste vriend.

Gekscherend merkte hij op: ‘Ik heb het gevoel dat ik Cleopatra ben, zittend in een bad met kontmelk, begrijp je wat ik bedoel?’

Toen Michael vroeg: ‘Waar komt dat vandaan, Si?’, antwoordde de kok van Geordie: ‘Luister, ik heb 25 jaar lang deze kerel gehad, het lijkt op wat voor vergelijkingen, ik weet tot op de dag van vandaag nog steeds niet waar ze vandaan komen’.

De sterke vriendschap tussen het paar is duidelijker dan ooit, zoals Dave vervolgde: ‘Het is deze reis ongeveer 650 mijl geweest.

‘We zijn nu bijna twintig jaar onderweg, weet je, van de Oostzee tot Afrika, we hebben altijd iets goeds gevonden en ook de kameraadschap en vriendschap rond de tafel.’

Michael plaagde: ‘Nou, het heeft je maar twintig jaar gekost om mij te vinden, maar ik ben zo blij dat je hier bent’, terwijl Si eraan toevoegde: ‘Maar je weet dat we het beste tot het laatst hebben bewaard!’

Toen de aflevering ten einde liep, dacht Si na: ‘Nou, we hebben het gehaald.’

Nadat de credits zijn verschenen, luidt een eerbetoon: ‘In liefdevolle herinnering aan onze vriend, Dave Myers’

Dave vervolgde: ‘En het was soms zwaar. Weet je, ik heb de hele tijd dat we aan het filmen waren chemotherapie gehad, het was niet gemakkelijk, maar we zijn er, weet je, en het is gewoon een geweldig gevoel. Omdat ik hier bij jou ben, verlang ik hiernaar.

Terwijl hij de tranen onderdrukte, zei Si: ‘Wij hebben het gedaan, maar wat nog belangrijker is, hij heeft het gedaan. Hij is mijn maatje, maar ik hou van hem als familie, als een broer, en… ik heb geen woorden voor woorden. Het is nogal opmerkelijk wat hij heeft gedaan.

‘Dit is een beloning voor je harde werk, je wil, je inspanningen’, voegde hij eraan toe, zoals Dave toegaf: ‘Het is een droom die uitkomt, Kingy …

‘Wij tweeën zijn weer bij elkaar en doen waar we goed in zijn. Het westen wordt echt een reis om nooit te vergeten.’

Terwijl de twee elkaar voor de aftiteling omhelsden in een laatste knuffel, zeiden ze: ‘Het was geweldig’, zoals Si het ermee eens is: ‘Het heeft bro, het is gebeurd.’

Dave kuste hem op de wang en zei: ‘Ik hou van jou’, en Si antwoordde: ‘Ik hou ook van jou’, toen de televisiereis van het paar ten einde kwam.

Nadat de aftiteling was verschenen, luidde een eerbetoon: ‘In liefdevolle herinnering aan onze vriend, Dave Myers.’

Dave filmde vorig jaar zijn laatste show, die nog maar net op BBC Two te zien was, toen Si aankondigde dat zijn vriend was overleden.

De BBC besloot de serie als eerbetoon te blijven uitzenden.

Eerdere afleveringen in de serie lieten zien dat Si solo filmde terwijl Dave doorging met zijn behandeling.

Toen de tv-kok zonder zijn wederhelft achterbleef, deelde Si enkele oprechte woorden terwijl hij nadacht over hoe vreemd het voelde om zonder zijn partner te zijn.

Hij gaf toe: ‘Ik zou echt willen dat mijn beste vriend hier was, want hij zou dit absoluut geweldig vinden’, voordat hij eraan toevoegde: ‘Het is vreemd zonder hem’.

De Hairy Bikers zijn altijd een dubbelact geweest, en Si gaf toe dat hij het vreemd vond om alleen op de fiets te reizen.

‘Ik vond het vooral niet leuk om in mijn eentje te rijden, maar ik ga hem wat producten terugbrengen en ervan gaan knabbelen. Het is vreemd zonder hem.’

Toen Dave terugkeerde om een ​​historische spoorlijn in Portmadog te bezoeken, koesterde hij de levenslange ambitie om een ​​stoomtrein te besturen.

De ster legde uit: ‘Toen ik als jonge knaap dit gebied bezocht, zou Bob al aan deze indrukwekkende locomotieven hebben gewerkt. Helaas hadden we toen nog geen geld om over deze rails te rijden, dus deze reis voelt des te specialer.’

Nadat hij zijn goede vriend de ervaring had zien beleven, zei Si: ‘Het was leuk om mijn beste vriend een trein te zien besturen. Het was gewoon heerlijk om een ​​glimlach op zijn gezicht te zien, want hij had het verdomd moeilijk.’

Dave voegde eraan toe: ‘Ik heb dit gemist, vorig jaar Kingy, zo’n verschrikkelijk jaar’, voordat hij verder ging met de hartverscheurende woorden: ‘Dertig jaar hebben we onzin gepraat, en toch gaat het lang door’.

Dave kondigde in mei 2022 aan dat hij een behandeling voor kanker kreeg en hield het publiek moedig op de hoogte van zijn vorderingen in een reeks emotionele tv-specials.

Hij stierf eind februari met zijn familie en vrienden aan zijn zijde, waaronder zijn levenslange vriend Si.

Het was Si die het trieste nieuws van Dave’s dood bekendmaakte en een eerbetoon deelde op sociale media.

De laatste aflevering van Hairy Bikers Go West werd dinsdag om 20.00 uur uitgezonden op BBC Two.

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.’

Si also chokes back tears as he struggles to find the words to express his emotions: “I’m just out of words. It’s quite remarkable what he’s done.”

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.”

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. Because I’m here with you, I long for this’

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.”

“Who knows what the future holds, but right now I’m living in the present, and that’s pretty good,” Dave said.

‘The two of us are back together and doing what we do best. The West will truly be a trip to remember,” he added

After the credits roll, a tribute reads: “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

Hairy Bikers star Dave Myers left behind a £1.5million following his tragic death aged 66, it emerged today.

The TV chef – who started out as a make up artist specialising in prosthetics – 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.

Dave’s production company, which he owned with wife Liliana Orzac, was worth £1.4m and made a profit of £200,000 in the previous 12 months, accounts filed on January 31 reveal.

Meanwhile, Hairy Bikers Television, which he owned with co-star Si King, was worth £92,000 – bringing the late star’s overall fortune to almost £1.5m.

Together the Hairy Bikers also produced 30 cookbooks, ranging from perfect pies to veggie feasts, one pot wonders and comfort food. The Hairy Bikers’ Great Curries is a bestseller on Amazon and received fantastic reviews from the Great British Food Magazine and Easy Food.

After meeting in 1995 on the set of a TV drama, the best friends built up a reputation as the friendly faces of TV cooking, with 31 separate projects since they first debuted on the BBC in 2006.

Dave lived in Staffordshire with his wife but had an impressive property portfolio over the years.

In 2017 he sold his seven-bedroom Victorian semi in his hometown of Barrow, Cumbria for £525,000. He had previously rented a penthouse flat at Trinity Buoy Wharf in London’s Docklands to use with his TV pal while they were filming. The Hairy Biker had also owned properties in France, on the island of Roa in Morecambe Bay, and Kent.

Dave, a talented artist, worked as a labourer to raise enough money to study fine art at Goldsmiths in London, which led him to a job in the BBC’s make-up department.

He once told how he was ordered to get a wig in his first day to hide his alopecia. But rather than spend the money, which amounted to more than a month’s salary, he shaved his head and bought a nearly-new Honda 185 Benly motorcycle.

Dave, who is survived by wife Liliana and her two children Izabelle and Sergiu, died last Wednesday and sparked an outpouring of tributes from across the TV industry.

In accounts filed January 31 Dave’s production company, which he owned with wife Liliana Orzac (pictured together in 2018) was worth £1.4M and made a profit of £200K in the previous 12-months

The chef announced he was receiving treatment for cancer in May 2022 and bravely kept the public up to date with his progress in a series of emotional TV specials.

He died last Wednesday with his family and friends by his side, colleague and lifelong friend Si revealed.

In the Hairy Dieters six-book series, Si and Dave came up with recipes that are low in calories but big in flavour, so people could continue to enjoy the food they’re cooking and eating.

Strictly dancer Karen Hauer – who Dave partnered on the show in 2013 – said she was ‘heartbroken’ by the news as she posted a broken heart emoji.

Devastated fans paid tribute to the unlikely star, who first appeared on our screens in 2006 alongside his TV partner and racked up more than 30 separate projects, also selling 6million copies of their 30 cookery books.

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.’

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

Si announced the sad news in a statement released on social media, saying he would miss his friend ‘every day’

The beloved duo first met when they were both working in the film industry – Dave as a make-up artist and Si as a locations director – and bonded over their love of food and motorbikes.

Over their career the best friends built up a reputation as the friendly faces of TV cooking, with 31 separate projects since they first debuted on the BBC in 2006.

The statement continued: ‘I know Dave and his family would want me to thank all of you who sent messages of support in recent times.

‘It meant the world to him, his family and all The Hairy Bikers team.

‘I am sending you all much love and gratitude for those simple acts of kindness, generosity and spirit. We are eternally grateful for them.

‘May I ask you all for one further kindness and allow Lili, his wife, his family, close friends and I some time and some peace to process our huge loss.

‘I am sure I will see you all soon.’

Following his diagnosis, Myers briefly took a break from work before filming his last show with King, which sees them travel west across Britain from Scotland to Devon.

King previously said that the series, The Hairy Bikers Go West, which is airing on BBC Two, would be one they would ‘always remember’.

Reacting to the news, BBC chief content officer Charlotte Moore said: ‘Everyone at the BBC is incredibly sad to hear this news.

‘Dave made cooking a truly joyful adventure and he shared that joy with millions.

‘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 plans 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.’

Another saw Dave showcasing his singing talents as he belted out Don’t Cry For Me Argentina in one memorable episode.

Si said: “It’s a series we will always remember, not that we won’t remember others.

“We are very privileged to do what we do and I think overall this one was particularly special because of Dave’s health and his enormous determination and love for what he does.

‘Especially to keep doing it while he was being treated took remarkable courage and energy – and adds to why Dave and I won’t forget it.’

County Durham-born Si also said there was ‘a wonderful moment on the first day of filming when Dave overtook me on the bike’, proving it was ‘just like old times’.

He added: ‘On the communication he said: ‘Kingy, are you sure we’re going left here?’. That kind of dialogue was great and that’s what we’ve been doing for the last twenty years. It was really very emotional.’

Born in Barrow-in-Furness, Myers’ wide variety of skills helped him gain many different experiences throughout his life.

As a student, he worked in a steel factory to finance his fine arts studies.

He later joined the BBC as a make-up artist, specializing in prosthetics.

In 1995, Myers met his longtime co-host King on the set of a TV drama, and they built a friendship and a successful career together.

Their combination of riding their motorcycles to locations around the world and causing a storm along the way earned them a loyal following.

The pair also won over viewers with their cheeky northern humor and enthusiasm.

Their first show, The Hairy Bikers’ Cookbook, launched on the BBC in 2006 and saw them riding through countries such as Portugal, Romania and Namibia, sampling the local cuisine and experimenting with making it themselves.

The bearded duo went on to film many other series and specials for the broadcaster, looking for new dishes in countries such as India, Vietnam, Argentina and Mexico.

They also sampled cuisines from places closer to home, such as Ireland and the Isle of Man.

During their career they published more than 30 cookbooks together.

Myers also took part in Strictly Come Dancing in 2013 alongside professional dancer Karen Hauer.

After performing dances such as salsa, jive and paso doble, the pair were voted out of the competition in week seven.

He also appeared as a guest on numerous shows including Sunday Brunch, Countdown, Would I Lie To You?, All Star Family Fortunes and The Weakest Link.

In November, King told BBC Breakfast that their friendship of more than three decades came “natural” to them because they were “good friends” and “separated each other’s families.”

Myers also recalled during the interview that King cooked his favorite comfort food, ground beef and dumplings, for him while he was being treated for cancer.

The TV chef said at the time that he was ‘really enjoying life’ after he started cycling and filming again with his ‘best friend’.

Myers had previously spoken about other health issues, including discovering he had glaucoma – an eye condition that can lead to blindness.

In 2018, he revealed that he had initially dismissed the condition as a severe hangover.

He had also opened up about losing weight over the years by cutting out carbs and alcohol in an effort to get healthier.

For a BBC Two series, A Cook Abroad, Myers had to travel to Egypt without King after suffering a brain aneurysm in 2014, which his co-presenter later said he could only survive thanks to significant weight loss.

Myers was married to Liliana Orzac, whom he met while filming Hairy Bikers in Romania, and was a stepfather to her two children, Iza and Sergiu, from a previous relationship.

Hairy Biker Si King has shared the emotional moment he watched his co-star Dave Myers reach a major milestone during his cancer treatment.

The celebrity chef, 57, told how he felt overwhelmed watching Dave overtake him on his motorbike as they filmed the new series of their show.

It is the first time the presenting duo have returned to filming their cooking show since Dave was diagnosed with cancer in 2022.

Ahead of the series, The Hairy Bikers Go West, which was filmed while Dave was still undergoing treatment, Si said the focus was on getting back on the bike.

Dave, 66, was treated as they drove 600 miles from Scotland to Devon, in the west of the country, for several weeks.

Si said: “Our focus, and especially Dave's, was to get on the bike, start the filming process and bring back a level of normality for him, his family, for me and for the crew.

“That's what he was working towards and that's what got him through that particular part of his treatment.

'There was a lovely moment on the first day of filming when Dave overtook me on the bike and it was amazing, it was like he's back. It was really very emotional.

'It's a series we will always remember. We are very privileged to do what we do and I think overall this one was particularly special because of Dave's health and his enormous determination and love for what he does.

'Especially to keep doing it while he was being treated took remarkable courage and energy – and adds to why Dave and I won't forget it.

'The level of support and kindness shown by Dave and I all along the way has been fantastic.'

Si added: “Dave is a west coast boy and we had a blast visiting some of his old haunts and our favorite spots. It was so joyful because it's Dave's neck of the woods, it was amazing.”

In May 2022, Dave revealed that he had been diagnosed with cancer and had undergone chemotherapy.

In December, Dave left viewers in tears when he gave an emotional health update during The Hairy Bikers' Christmas Special.

He gave an update on his diagnosis and explained why he hasn't publicly shared what type of cancer he has been diagnosed with.

While much of the festive special focused on his love of food, Dave also shared insight into his recent battle with cancer, including unseen clips from his hospital treatment.

“I can't remember the rest of the drive home, it was like everything was falling apart around us,” his wife Liliana added.

“It's like, 'Where do we go from here?' Dave continued. “When I first got the call, there was disbelief in my mind, and a refusal to believe it in any way.

“It's the word, isn't it, the word that everyone fears.”

He added that the moment it “got real” was when Dave had chemo for the first time, before it “really got real” when he lost all his hair.

“The first round of chemo was very, very destructive,” Dave said, recalling how an oncologist told him he would be “taken to the limit.”

'You don't realize what an impact it can have, the debilitating effects occur quite quickly.

'My taste and appetite went away, I was bad, you see your weight drop and you have to eat, but it's finding something you want to eat. I had sores in my mouth. I would often fall over.'

“It was hard, and it's hard to see him physically struggle with the effects of the treatment,” Liliana added.

'My hair fell out during the second chemo treatment. It's really quite radical, it's not a gradual shedding, your hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, beard, everything just continues,” Dave continued.

While much of the special focused on his and his sidekick Si's love of food, Dave also shared insight into his battle with cancer, including unseen clips of his hospital treatment.

One viewer said: 'I enjoyed The Hairy Bikers and their Christmas show. There is no doubt that Dave Myers has had a very difficult time.

Another tweeted: 'A fantastic and emotional watch. The Hairy Bikers cover Dave Myers' journey from chemotherapy to a celebratory meal. Wish him well.”

“Watching @HairyBikers now and seeing the great Dave Myers looking pretty much the same but better than me and going through a similar journey is very uplifting but also heartbreaking. I understand his pain, LITERALLY. I wish I could eat like him, and I really need to… soon!' one fan added.

Chrissy Teigen seemed to forget something at home on Tuesday.

The supermodel turned TV host seemed bottomless as she stopped by SiriusXM in New York City to chat with Andy Cohen.

The 38-year-old Sports Illustrated swimsuit star wore only a light gray jacket with chocolate brown trim and a matching belt with knee-length black boots and black gloves.

Her legs were bare and there was no skirt or shorts in sight.

The chef has been promoting her new TV show Chrissy & Dave Dine Out with David Chang all week.

This comes a week after she gave her husband John Legend a lap dance during an exotic vacation.

Her new show is about trying the most popular restaurants in Los Angeles.

Chrissy & Dave Dine Out also star Fire Island and Loot's Joel Kim Booster. Chrissy and Chang taste the dishes and then Chang goes into the kitchen to discuss the recipe.

Celebrity guests include Jimmy Kimmel and his wife, writer/producer Molly McNearney, Chrissy's husband John Legend, Kumail Nanjiani, Regina Hall and Simu Liu.

The show debuts on Freeform Wednesday and then on Hulu Thursday.

This comes just over a week after the lingerie model gave her husband a racy lap dance while they were at a burlesque nightclub with their four children during a seaside holiday.

The dazzling video was shared to her Instagram account while her friends Jenna Dewan and Kate Hudson gave her props in her comments section.

Chrissy pulled John onto the stage, pushed him into a chair and sat in front of him as she moved her hands down his chest and placed her face in his crotch as he smiled from ear to ear.

During the steamy lap dance, scantily clad, statuesque women posed behind him and then shockingly removed their tops, exposing their bare breasts.

The artist wore a black suit, just like Chrissy in a showgirl outfit with red fringes and beads, a feather on her head and high heels.

In the same post, she shared images from her vacation.

And in one of the photos, she was with one of her four children, which was a stark contrast to her sexy dancer clip.

The most striking image was of Teigen showing off her stunning figure in a pumpkin orange one-piece swimsuit.

The model looked in great shape as she posed in a shower on a superyacht at sea.

She stuck her tongue out to drink some water. The suit was semi-sheer and low-cut, allowing fans to see her chest.

The cover girl is on holiday with her husband all week.

The model and Legend first met in 2006 while working on a music video shoot, and they got engaged in 2011. The happy couple waited two years before holding a wedding ceremony in Italy.

Teigen and her husband started their family with the birth of their daughter Luna, seven, in April 2016, and welcomed Miles two years later.

The couple planned to welcome a third child in 2020, although the author had to have an abortion to save her life.

The two welcomed Esti last January and surprised many of their fans with the arrival of Wren via surrogate five months later.

She completed the look with a gold purse and wore her brunette locks in loose waves.

Meanwhile, the All of Me crooner matched his wife in a black outfit, wearing a kimono-style blazer with a silk button-up and black trousers.
