The late chef's £1.4 million asset has been left to his wife

Dave Myers' widow Liliana Orzac has reportedly inherited the Hairy Bikers star's company following his death in February.

Myers, 66, sadly died after a battle with cancer after revealing his diagnosis in 2022.


His Hairy Bikers co-star and best pal Si King, 57, explained in a statement Myers had passed away with his family, Orzac and himself at his side.

Orzac, also 57, has been left her late husband's firm Sharpletter Limited, according to Companies House.

The chef's will has not been made public, but reports suggest Orzac was named as the sole person with significant control of the television production company.

Its latest accounts, filed last year, show that the company has £1,407,338 in the bank.

The couple married back in 2011, with Myers becoming stepdad to her two children.

Just last weekend, the 57-year-old gave a heartbreaking update as she reflected on life without her late husband.

Taking to social media, she penned: “Life stood still when I lost Dave. It still seems still, empty and sad.

“And I know it might seem too soon to even consider moving on. How can I move on from this wonderful, exhilarating, out of ordinary on so many levels, life that I shared with an extraordinary man? When he is everywhere and in everything around me?

“I tell you how… I MOVE FORWARD WITH HIM! He will always be part of me, I am who I am because of him, he helped me shape the last 20 years of my life. I am ME because of HIM.

"There is grief to go through, but I won't let that keep me stuck, or fall into illness… because he wouldn't want that for me!

“I plan to live my adventures and take him with me! Experience life with him in my heart! Make his impact on my life meaningful!

“Write my next chapters with the excitement and the joy he taught me life can be lived with! Carry his zest for life with me! Laugh and love like Dave! Having Dave Days for the rest of my life! I'M MOVING FORWARD WITH HIM!”

Myers never revealed what form of cancer he’d been diagnosed with, preferring to keep some details private as he battled the illness.

He did provide updates with fans about his treatment, and returned to screens for The Hairy Bikers Go West, which aired recently.
