Dave makes TV return amid cancer battle

It comes as Dave made an emotion return to television last month after a difficult battle with cancer.

The 65-year-old chef and stepdad-of-two was diagnosed with the condition last year.

In December, he was seen on TV alongside best pal and fellow biker Si King during an appearance on BBC’s Saturday Kitchen.

When quizzed by host Matt Tebutt, Dave spoke candidly about how the past few months had been a struggle.

“It’s lovely to be back,” Hairy Bikers star Dave said. “It’s been a rough year, Matt. I can’t pretend otherwise.

“There were some times where I thought I wouldn’t be here for Christmas.”

Dave was then quick to praise the work of the medical professionals that had nursed him back to health.

“I’ve got to give a shoutout to all the doctors and nurses in Birmingham,” he continued. “They put me back together and got me walking again.”
