After being diagnosed with cancer, Hairy Bikers star Dave Myers, who was formerly a makeup artist, passed away in 2024.

The wife of Hairy Bikers’ Dave Myers has revealed the details of his difficult early years before becoming famous. After being diagnosed with cancer, Dave passed away in 2024 at the age of 66.

In her new memoir Dave &amp, Me, Lili discusses how he had a difficult childhood. The pair had a romantic relationship up until his death in 2011.

In the book, Lili mentions her famous husband’s struggle with alopecia and looking after his mother, who had multiple sclerosis. When Dave’s mother Margaret discovered the condition at the age of eight, his father Jim and his mother Margaret had to take care of him both full-time.

Lili wrote in her memoir that she had a wheelchair before becoming physically and mentally ill with the diagnosis of a woman. For a boy who was ten years old, Dave and his father were her full-time caregivers.

The family lived hand-to-mouth, surviving on Jim’s pension money, until social services moved them to a ground-floor apartment on a new council estate in Barrow. Although Dave had to deal with many more difficulties, he found solace in music and painting, two more lifelong passions, and food and bikes.

By the time Dave was 24 years old, both of his parents had passed away, as did Margaret, who had been placed in a care facility four years later. After being diagnosed with alopecia and losing his hair, Dave also had to deal with his own health issues.

Lili said: “Not many people know that Dave Myers, the Hairy Biker, was bald from childhood until his forties. At a very young age he began to suffer with alopecia which made things extremely difficult for him, especially in school where he was already singled out for being a ‘poor kid’ thanks to his free meal tokens.

“He was a target for the bullies, and Dave lost his confidence and spirit those days,” he said. Dave speculated that his alopecia might have been brought on by his mother’s suffering.

In his forties, Dave’s hair began to grow bath after a second health issue. When Dave collapsed while filming a scene in 1998, a hospital discovered an arachnoid cyst on his left side of his brain.

It was thought that it had been there since childhood because his brain had grown around it. Dave went for surgery which was a success and he was discharged just five days later on Christmas Eve.

According to Lili, “Davi’s hair began to grow in dark, healthy curls shortly after his op.” This is just a hunch because I’m not medically trained, but perhaps a cyst sitting undiscovered had been pressing on a specific area of the brain, and perhaps that combined with his mother’s caregiving stress had first led to the alopecia? Although I’ll never know for sure, it makes sense.

Ian “H” Watkins, the band’s star, revealed that the Bee Gees and the group were requested to perform at Glastonbury on the Pyramid stage, but they were unable to make the necessary arrangements.

Steps star Ian ‘H’ Watkins is one of the most memorable stars of the legendary 90’s pop group who took the world by storm with a plethora of hits across the world. But now, it has come to light that there was one part of his pop career that he still holds a level of regret over – and that was missing out on performing at Glastonbury Festival.

The Glastonbury organizers were invited to perform at the coveted Pyramid stage after hearing the group’s song Tragedy.

The popular song had already sold more than 1.2 million copies in the UK at the time.

The Bee Gees asked us to join them on stage, the pop singer said in an interview with Metro. However, we literally couldn’t complete it in time because it was a very late request.

He continued, “Of course, some of them have already passed away, so that will never occur again.” However, the Steps crown contains yet another tiny gem.

However, the group’s musical Here and Now, which is scheduled to play around the UK and ends up in London’s West End, seems to be having a head start on the festival’s schedule.

Ian continued: “We’re the only ones, really, from that era that have all the original members and are still going, so it feels like we’ve earned our stripes by now.”

Ian explained that the media was interested in his sex life and that he felt unable to declare his sexuality at the height of his career.

Recalling the moment he followed in the media footsteps of Stephen Gately and Will Young, who were revealed as gay, Ian said he received a phone call he had been desperate to avoid while on holiday.

They were aware that I had a boyfriend, who I was with, and why I was there, he claimed.

He continued, “I immediately flew back from vacation, told my loved ones, told my family, and told my parents, and then they stopped running the story because I didn’t give them quotes.” However, they threatened me for many years, and I felt as though my coming out story had been taken from me, and I had lost all of my power.

But Ian was not alone. Boyzone star Stephen Gately and N’SYNC’s Lance Bass was also struggling with press attention over their sexuality.

It was a really challenging situation to be seen together or even acknowledge that you were friends with another close gay person, Ian added.

After that, he made a firm friendship with his bandmates, as well as Britany Spears.

“All of her dancers were gay, regardless,” Ian continued. People assumed I was dating Brittany for a while, but that was untrue; it turns out to be strange.

Justin Bieber’s increasingly bizarre behavior and cryptic social media posts, as well as wife Hailey’s “show off” of her bare wedding ring finger, are raising fears of an impending divorce.

Hailey Bieber made a point of removing her wedding ring, showing off her bare finger to paps at every opportunity, while her husband Justin Bieber’s bizarre behaviour appears to spiral. The couple have sparked divorce rumours, after their marriage appears to be on the rocks, with Hailey showing signs of ‘frustration’ with her husband.

The 28-year-old made a point of showing her bare ring finger to waiting photographers in the West Village of New York. As she stepped out of a black SUV and grabbed herself some breakfast at The Commerce Inn, she wore over-sized sunglasses.

Her left arm was raised, keeping her ringless finger in front and center the entire time, according to the model and Rhode Beauty founder. Her $500,000 sparkle was nowhere to be found, and she was once more seen with Camila Morrone and Suki Waterhouse, who were also model mates, without their wedding ring.

Meanwhile, Justin Bieber’s increasingly concerning behaviour has seen fans speculate that a split is on the cards. Earlier in the week, the child star uploaded a number of cryptic posts, one of which was a blurred monochrome selfie in which he could be seen looking glum.

The 31-year-old wrote, “Tired of transactional relationships,” in a troubling caption. That is not love if I have to do something to earn love.

A body language expert believes Hailey is purposefully highlighting the fact that she’s removed her wedding ring after looking at their recent behavior. She holds her hand up as she leaves the car, which body-lunguage expert Darren Stanton describes as “unusual” in one photo.

Explaining to the US Sun, Stanton said: “That’s a very unusual gesture and it seems to be that she’s trying to emphasise the point that she’s not got the ring on.” He added: “Hailey is making a very exerted effort to show the paparazzi that she’s no longer wearing the ring.”

Meanwhile, Stanton claims Justin, who wed Hailey in 2018, is sporting a “brave face.” He said, “I can feel sadness in Justin’s presence. He may be more depressed than she is emotionally. He’s attempting to appear brave.

He added that Justin might be putting on a fake smile to conceal his true feelings. There are no crows feet or laughter lines, according to Stantons, who explained that the singer doesn’t have the “two main tells” of a genuine smile.

The so-called “human lie detector” added that “It is most likely a fake smile to conceal and inner emotion, and I believe Justin is feeling sadness if the entire face is not engaged and we don’t see the three lines at the side of the eyes.”

It comes after Hailey branded Justin a “f***ing child” after he made a series of odd posts on social media to celebrate Father’s Day. Justin, who shares nine-month-old son Jack Blues Bieber with Hailey, went on a wild rant in which he admitted he is ‘broken’, ‘angry’ and ‘exhausted’ from ‘thinking about himself all the time’.

Hailey and Justin chose not to post upbeat family photos on what should have been a special day. Instead, he shared images of himself holding what appeared to be a joint, later claiming to be “a dad that’s not be f***ed with.”

Recently, David and Victoria Beckham’s feud with Nicola Peltz’s daughter-in-law have been in the news, and it appears to be going to end school.

David and Victoria Beckham are said to be “bewildered” by a “sneer” as their feud with Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz deepens. It has been reported that a source close to the Peltz family have allegedly claimed that the Beckhams are tight with money.

According to legend, Nicola lived a life of luxury as a young child, the youngest daughter of US billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz. According to a source, Nelson “threw money at anything and everything,” including buying the two houses in Los Angeles where he and his partner have resided since they started dating in 2019.

Brooklyn also developed into a millionaire household, but his parents, David and Victoria, also helped him develop a more normal life. Brooklyn, age 15, accepted a job as a barista in a Kensington coffee shop for an affordable wage of £2.68 per hour.

Additionally, Victoria sent the three brothers to assist with the relief efforts following the 2017 Grenfell tragedy. Brooklyn and Nicole recently purchased a new home in Los Angeles.

Prior to moving in, the couple previously resided in a £7.7 million mansion with a gym and sauna. They now reside in a brand-new, five-bedroom Beverly Hills home worth £11 million. According to legend, Nelson and Claudia’s trust fund, which included money, purchased their homes.

According to a source close to The Sun’s reporting, Nicola’s parents were anticipating that the Beckhams, who are worth half a billion, would match them penny for penny. Or at least contribute to financial matters when necessary. They are irritated and telling people it’s a little tight, which would totally enrage David and Vic if they knew because that hasn’t always happened, so they are annoyed.

Where is the motivation to work on your own two feet, according to a separate source close to the Beckham matriarch and patriarch, according to the Daily Mail? Do the Peltzes realize David and Victoria’s objections to not purchasing Brooklyn and Nicola a home are real? It is obvious that the Beckhams believe it to be true, but the Peltzes do not.

The Peltzes appear to be awful for having just spoilt their daughter because all this only serves to demonstrate that they are wise parents who have instilled a work ethic in their children. What message does that convey?

Another person, however, refutes claims that Nicola is spoiled. Nicola, a source close to Brooklyn and Nicola, told the Mirror, “She is grateful for the fact that she has a happy life.”

She has worked for more than 20 years, and she currently writes, directs, and produces her own projects. Her parents are proud to raise their children, but it seems as though doing so would not appeal to them.

“Calling her spoiled is false. For her wedding, she requested donations to support Ukraine instead of gifts, and she runs Yogi’s House, a rescue that saves dogs from euthanasia in shelters. These one-sided and false attacks have gotten out of hand.”

The Peltz family also paid for Brooklyn’s £76 million wedding, which took place in their £75,000 Florida home in April 2022.

David and his parents, Sandra and Ted, both worked as gas fitters in Chingford, East London, and their children were raised in a semi-detached house. Because her father, Tony, had his own business and a Rolls-Royce, Victoria’s upbringing was more middle-class.

With his two-year deadline approaching and half a million dollars spent on a derelict pub, Martin Roberts has admitted he has greatly underestimated the time and cost of his most recent project.

Homes Under The Hammer star Martin Roberts admits he has “failed on every level”, after he underestimated how challenging it would be to renovate a derelict South Wales pub. The former I’m A Celebrity contestant, 61, bought the Hendrewen Hotel in Rhondda in 2023, and invested half a million to revamp the rundown boozer.

Renovation expert Martin wanted to support the nearby community, which he claimed had “lost their heart,” close to his own farmhouse. However, he has now admitted that he had made a total error about the required amount of time and money.

Martin has already exceeded his deadline and the makeover is not yet complete, despite his initial estimate of £500,000 and the completion date. He acknowledges that working with his tradespeople has been “challenging” and that he has only been inspired to get through because of his team of 15- to 17-year-olds.

With a location in one of the most underserved areas of the country, Martin hoped it would help them acquire useful skills when they finished their education. The reality TV star planned to employ 30 locals when his project is finished, as well as give the kids a “step up the ladder” to help them get jobs when they finish.

Speaking to the Sun, Martin explained how he felt like he’d failed. He told the paper: “For a man who spends all his time telling people to make sure they stick to their budgets and timescales, I have failed on every single level.

It’s my first commercial property I’ve ever worked for, but I’m still smiling despite how difficult it has been, I’ll be honest. We are 60% in the residential housing market, compared to the residential ones, but commercial ones have much more difficulties.

Martin wanted to create an eight-bedroom hotel with a television-themed theme for each of the rooms. He intends to make accommodations in Fawlty Towers, A Question of Sport, and Homes Under The Hammer themed, in a resurgence of the show he has produced for more than 20 years.

The TV star previously told WalesOnline: “I often act a bit on gut instinct, and possibly don’t always tell my wife because sometimes I think there’s a danger I will be talked out of things because they appear daft on the surface, I only sort of mention it when it’s too late!”

He continued, “I’ve never run a hotel, I’ve never run a restaurant, or I’ve never run a pub.” What could possibly go wrong, then, hey? “

After having emergency surgery and experiencing a terrifying health scare as a result of his chest pains, Martin had the idea for his new business. He initially assumed COVID, but when he was in the hospital, doctors discovered pericardial effusion, a fluid buildup around his heart.

Doctors warned him that he could only have hours to live if he didn’t go in for the op. He told Metro: “It was a bit of an eye-opener to be honest, being three hours from death, that’s always going to ruin your day.

“I was told to take things easy and slow down,” so I decided to purchase a pub that I wanted to run despite having no experience operating a pub, restaurant, or hotel. You are suddenly reminded of how fragile we are in many ways.
