David James Myers (8 September 1957 – 28 February 2024) was an English television presenter, and one half of the Hairy Bikers, along with Si King.

The programme presented a mixture of cookery and travelogue, using a similar style to chef Keith Floyd, including the habit of frequently referring to the cameraman and other crew.

The show also featured elements of the Two Fat Ladies format, including regular banter between the two stars, use of various unusual cooking locations and the use of motorbikes.

[10] On 24 August 2009 they hosted a 30-part daytime series for BBC Two, The Hairy Bikers' Food Tour of Britain, which aired on weekdays.

UKTV gave a description of the series: "In this ultimate food and music pilgrimage, the perennially popular Hairy Bikers are getting back in the saddle as they explore the length of the iconic Mississippi River in America in pursuit of the delicious roots of soul food and Southern music."

[19] In August 2012 Hairy Dieters: How to Love Food and Lose Weight showed how The Hairy Bikers radically changed their lifestyles, but stayed true to their love of great food, as they embarked on a campaign to lose two and a half stone (15.8 kg (35 lb)) in three months, comfortably passing their target weights.

In January 2014 they launched the Hairy Bikers Diet Club, which included recipes and tips and tricks to help people to live a healthier and trimmer life, while not starving to be "skinny minnies".

[23] In 2015, Myers co-wrote an autobiography with Si King, titled The Hairy Bikers: Blood, Sweat and Tyres.

Doctors scanned him and he was told that he had a shadow on his brain, which turned out to be a benign arachnoid cyst, and emergency surgery successfully drained it.

[30] In January 2023, he appeared on BBC Breakfast, announcing a new series of The Hairy Bikers TV show, and gave an update on his continuing treatment.

The event raised money for NSPCC Childline and The Institute of Cancer Research, with donations being split evenly between the two charities.

[39][40] On 14 September 2024, the first episode of the 22nd series of Strictly Come Dancing was dedicated to the memory of both Myers and former professional dancer Robin Windsor.
