STRICTLY Come Dancing paid a touching tribute to the later Hairy Biker Dave Myers.
The first episode in the new series of the BBC favourite memorialised the Barrow-born chef as the screen turned to black before a picture of Dave, alongside the late dancer, Robin Windsor appeared with the words 'In loving memory of'.
Celebrity chef and presenter Dave tragically passed away in February at the age of 66, after a long battle with cancer.
He competed in series 11 of Strictly Come Dancing, back in 2013 and was partnered with professional ballroom dancer Karen Hauer.
The dancing show returned for its 22nd series on Saturday, and left fans emotional with the tribute.
