Wife of tragic Hairy Bikers star Dave Myers is given 'significant control' of ... trends now
Dave Myer's wife has taken his place as the new Hairy Biker - as Si King has made her a person with significant control in a company he once shared with his tragic co-star.
Liliana Myers has now been made a part of Hairy Bikers Limited - holding between 25 and 50 per cent of the company's shares and voting rights.
While it is not the main company that the much-loved cooking duo shared together, the sweet gesture came on the same day that Dave's role in the company was officially cut.
The cessation of his position came almost exactly a month after his death on February 28 after a long battle with an unspecified form of cancer.
Dave announced he was receiving treatment for cancer in May 2022 and bravely kept the public up to date with his progress in a series of emotional TV specials.

Hairy Bikers Limited, a business that includes 'retail sale not in stores, stalls or markets', had current assets of £2,325 last year.
A second company, Hairy Bikers Television, had net current assets amounting to £114,715.
In early March Lili paid tribute to her beloved late husband and also thanked fans for the 'massive wave of love and support' that she has received.
Liliana, a coach and hypnotherapist, took to social media as she said: 'I will never be able to thank you all enough for the massive wave of love, compassion and care that you have shown towards me, Simon and our families in these past days since Dave passed.
'I want you all to know that I have read every single message and comment that you sent… your stories about Dave, your feelings you shared with me mean a lot and my heart is filled with gratitude and love.
'It amazes me how many hearts he touched and how many people wanted to express their love for what Dave and Si have created for nearly 20 years. I know the Hairy Bikers have been part of your living rooms for such a long time and I feel your loss as much as you feel mine!
'My husband, David Myers was a larger than life character and he did everything with passion, enthusiasm and generosity of spirit. His energy was endless when it came to cooking and talking recipes, or biking and talking bikes.
