Hairy Bikers star Dave Myers admits chemotherapy has been 'brutal' trends now
Hairy Bikers star Dave Myers has offered insight into his 'brutal' chemotherapy treatment after being diagnosed with cancer last year.
In a new interview, the BBC star, 60, has detailed how his gruelling treatment has led him to lose 'so much weight' after having zero appetite.
Speaking on Tommy Banks' Seasoned podcast, Dave explained that he is still having chemotherapy for cancer after being diagnosed last year, and the side effects meant he could barely eat more than a can of soup.
