Dave Myers' devastated wife has spoken about the heartbreak of life without her Hairy Biker husband.

On February 28, Dave "passed away peacefully" with his wife Lili Orzac, his family, and close friend Si King by his side. The TV favourite died two years after revealing his cancer diagnosis and fans are coming to terms with his passing as tributes continue to flood in.

She says she has been touched by the outpouring of emotion as she called him an "exceptional husband" and a wonderful stepdad to her two children Izabelle and Sergiu. Lili said she is feel grieving with a whole nation, a week on from the announcement of his passing.

She wrote via the Hairy Bikers' Instagram account: "A message from Lili, Dave’s wife- 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. An amazing storyteller! And through his stories and TV appearances he was constantly inspiring and encouraging people to cook, travel, to live their life to the fullest.

"An exceptional husband, wonderful stepdad, loyal friend and in his own words, a creator, never a follower. I feel I’m grieving with a whole nation… and this is something special. My wonderful Dave."

Dave had not specified what type of cancer he has following the announcement he was receiving treatment in May 2022. The presenter briefly took a break from work before filming the latest series The Hairy Bikers Go West and even spoke about how 'good it is to be alive' in the new series - which is still airing.

A week before he passed away, Liliana took to her Facebook page to share a photo of the luxurious bathtub in their home. She said: "Is taking a hot bath going to wash away all the problems, dilemmas, fears or exhaustion? No, of course not! But... it's very much part of a self-care action. Soooo... I'm off to have a hot bubble bath! "And I encourage you all to do small or big things you enjoy towards your wellbeing."
