As Si spoke about Dave's health, he reassured everyone he is doing really well and is a "tough old boot".

Host Ronan said: "You're flying solo today. Dave is continuing his cancer treatment."

Adding: "We've had so much love on social media. This came from David, who said, I send my best wishes to Dave. The Hairy Bikers helped me when I was low. Watching their programmes always bought a smile to my face. I hope his recovery is going well."

Si then added: "It's going really well. He's still in the trenches of his chemo and treatment but all the numbers are going well and he's getting stronger by the day and more positive by the day. He's a tough old boot, you know, he's from Barrow in Furness."

The chef also took the time to thank the public outpouring of support for his friend.

He said: "He's not going to give up easily. He certainly isn't. He's doing great, man. Thank you. And all of us, everyone involved with the Bikers, Dave, his wife Lil and the kids, the amount of love that comes over social media is remarkable."

Alex and Ronan were happy to hear that Dave was doing well.

Dave had publicly announced he was undergoing cancer treatment in May 2022 revealing that he would be a ‘baldy Biker’ for a while due to the side effects of chemotherapy. 

The 65-year-old revealed on his podcast with Si at the time: ‘Anyway Kingy, I’ve got to come clean now, I haven’t been too well recently and basically, I’ve got to have some chemo, you know all this anyway.

‘So this year is going to be a bit quiet for me, I’m not going to be filming, some of the festivals I’m not going to be able to go to, some may be okay but this year’s a bit of a write off for us."
