During the Confidential Corner segment of the show, in which listeners write in with their dilemmas to be given advice by the Hairy Bikers, Dave spoke about the loss of his facial hair.
In one dilemma, ‘Katie’, found herself frustrated over her husband’s hairdo.
She said: “I’m married to my very own Hairy Biker, and I have been for 10 years.
“The issue is he’s not quite so hairy now, he’s sporting, I’m afraid, a bit of a combover.
“I’ve tried to gently hint that shaved heads are a great look, especially with a beard, but no luck.
“He is still insisting on not cutting it, now obviously I think he’ll look gorgeous whatever, but how can I persuade him its time to get rid of the combover.
“Or should I not even try and just leave him to it?”
Dave, who is from Barrow, was quick to quip that he would ‘get the clippers out and do it for him’.
He said: “Also as a biker as well, with a combover under your helmet it sticks to your helmet when you take it off
“Embrace it, go for it, it’s the beard I miss though. I was born with that beard.”
Tasha jokingly asked if he missed fiddling with it, getting food stuck in it, or combing it.
Dave responded: “I just miss having my beard, the feeling of it. Because your skins different and all peachy. No, I want my beard back – I’m alright with my hair!
“I think the bald head and beard is the way to go for a biker as you’re getting on.”
