Dave Myers - right - says cancer has changed his life

The ex ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ star - who revealed in May this year he had been diagnosed with the disease - believes getting the all clear will be "life affirming".

The 65-year-old TV chef said: "I tell you. I’ll feel I’ve made it when I get the all-clear from this bloody cancer. That’s going to be completely life-changing, life-affirming.

"And life never will be the same again."

Si King, 55 - who forms the other half of their motorcycling and cooking duo - admitted he would've “probably” shaved his head in solidarity if Dave had wanted him to.

The 55-year-old star: “Er, no. I mean, if he’d asked us, I probably would have.”

Dave also admitted his wife Liliana Orzac told him she would cut her hair off “out of support” for him, but he rejected her gesture.

Dave told The Guardian newspaper: “My wife said the same thing. ‘I’ll shave mine out of support.’ I said, ‘Don’t do that because, then, you do realise, we can’t go out together?’ Not being sexist, but I think [baldness] is easier for a bloke.

“My little fuzzy hair’s coming back now. It’s all on numbers. And the numbers are going the right way. So it encourages you to carry on."

Previously, Dave - who has endured 14 chemotherapy sessions and has six more to complete - confessed he wouldn’t wish the process on anyone.

He said: “Fortunately I think the chemo’s working. But the effect that chemotherapy has on you … every day is a school day.

“My eyes are sore because my eyelashes have fallen out. It’s c*** like that, that’s really irritating.”
