TV legend Hairy Biker Dave Myers died yesterday morning (Wednesday, February 28) aged 66, after a brief battle with cancer.

While filming their latest series, currently on BBC Two, the duo visited Exmouth where they visited Simon and his fishmongers just a stone’s throw from the quay. 

The fishmongers had wonderful array of freshly caught fish on show, but the boys discovered a hidden gem amongst the display - Simon’s world-famous Docker eggs. 

Resembling a Scotch egg, Simon uses smoked haddock to create a fish cake with a soft-boiled egg in the middle.

The series mainly features Devon and Dorset, and the final leg of the journey will see the bikers head towards the coast, eventually stopping in Exmouth.

Si King and Dave Myers visited the seaside town of Exmouth in the final episode of The Hairy Bikers Go West, which set to air on BBC Two at 7pm on Tuesday, March 19.

News of David Myers' cancer diagnosis was announced in December 2023, and his co-star Si King said his determination throughout the filming of the new series made it 'particularly special'.

"It’s a series that we will always remember, not that we won’t remember others," Si said.

"We are very privileged to do what we do and I think this one was particularly special in general because of Dave’s health and his sheer and utter determination and love for what he does.

"Especially to continue to do it while he was having treatment took remarkable courage and energy - and adds to why Dave and I will not forget it.

"There were some very lovely moments, the atmosphere throughout the series was exactly that. There wasn’t one particular moment.

"The series being gentle and knowing was the whole sub-narrative, it was a celebration of a joyous and creative friendship."

Across the series, The Hairy Bikers will be exploring Britain’s west coast from north to south, taking in Dumfries & Galloway, Lancashire, Merseyside and the Isle of Man, North Wales, the Severn Estuary and Somerset before ending their adventure in Devon.
