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.
