She said: 'We would lie on the floor of the conservatory, both of us crying, holding hands, watching the birds or the planes from the nearby airfield flying over us, listening to the rain and talking about the good times, trying to hold onto them.'Sometimes we would just lie there, saying nothing because words were too much. Those were raw moments of truth between us. It broke my heart that I couldn't do more to take the pain away.' Dave was one half of TV chef duo The Hairy Bikers, along with Simon King. He lost his battle with an undisclosed type of cancer aged 66, less than two years after he was diagnosed.
