Si King has revealed the profound sense of loss he feels following the death of his friend Dave Myers, who passed away earlier this year aged 66 after a cancer diagnosis.

During an emotional segment on This Morning, Si discussed his bond with Dave and shared insights into their deep friendship.Describing his journey through grief to presenters Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard, Si confided: "The grieving process started quite a long time ago for me when Dave was diagnosed - it was a big diagnosis - and it kind of started then really because it was all about the fight and that's what we concentrated on. "Grief is a very individual journey because it's about an emotional adjustment of loss and the things that are no longer tangible, and that's the bit that's odd to get your head around."He also spoke of times forgetting Dave's absence, saying: "The amount of times I've thought, 'I've not heard from that toerag for ages...' and then I go 'Oh man...' so it's raw for anybody that loses somebody, but there are two things that are certain in life - you begin it, and you end it.

The bit in the middle is about what you do with it. Dave loved his life, he lived it to the full and he was joyous to be around."Additionally, Si paid tribute to how valiantly Dave faced his fate. "I have way less courage than Dave did because he'd do stuff that I'd say, 'You've gotta be kidding' - like Strictly Come Dancing, for instance, he absolutely loved it!

Could he dance? Could he, Nelly! But it was just amazing to watch. It was his heart and soul performance, which is what you always got with Dave.
