The Hairy Bikers star whose skills were forged in tragedy: How Dave Myers learned to cook aged 11 because his mother had MS, joined BBC as a make-up artist...and was sold a dodgy motorbike by Si King when they first met on set of a TV drama

Dave Myers' love affair with cooking began not on TV or in the kitchens of top restaurants, but at home.

It was there that the 11-year-old future Hairy Biker began making meals for his family after his mother fell ill with multiple sclerosis.

Myers, who has died aged 66 after a battle with cancer, honed his culinary skills amidst the heartbreak of Margaret's decline.
