Dave Myer’s wife misses Hairy Bikers star ‘terribly’

Mrs Myers said her husband had wooed her with a sandwich.

They had first met when Myers and King were filming part of their first series, 2006’s The Hairy Bikers’ Cookbook, in Romania.

Their Romanian producer had “let them down”, so she took over, helping set up locations and interpreting.

“And that’s how we started, just like that,” she said.

They kept in touch for a couple of years by email, as the Hairy Bikers took Myers to places like India, Turkey, Mexico and Argentina.

“I got these beautiful emails from exotic parts of the world, talking to me about the culture, about the food, about the people that he met and that was magical for me,” she said.

“It was seeing the world through his eyes. He was a genuinely beautiful man, beautiful soul, and it came across in his emails.”

When they met again in person, at his home in Barrow, he cooked her a meal.

“He put all his soul into that sandwich,” she laughed.

They were married in Barrow in 2011.
