On March 28th, C. King, the Harry Biker star, opened up on Desert Island discs about the heavy guilt he fell filming a new TV show without his late, partner Dave Myers. The duo teamed up for 20 years, starting their cooking adventures back in 2006, after meeting in 1992 on a TV production. King, Myers passed from cancer in 2024, at age 66, and King, now 59, said the first year after was too raw, he just couldn't face, work. King described shooting solo as straight up strange, like delivering lines to camera that used to go to his best mate, stuff like, you got this, buddy. They rode over 650,000 miles on bikes, dishing out global food vibes to fans. Even now, two years on, Myers feels like family that never fades, that loss always lingering. Fans and friends have poured out support since Myers' 2022 diagnosis, but he pushed to keep filming for some normalcy, and King, honored that grit no matter what.

Their pack schedules meant long hauls away from home, which hit King hard personally. That grind wrecked his first mayors to Jane, and left him feeling totally disconnected, missing the daily beats of life, with loved ones. He admitted losing himself for a stretch. King's raw chat reminds us how deep those rider-dive bonds run, turning pain into something real, we all get. Catch Desert Island discs on BBC Radio 4 today, at 10am, or BBC Sounds.
