Si King once had to bathe his late co-star Dave Myers after a motorcycle accident as he sang to him.
On Tuesday (October 22), Zoe Ball welcomed one half of the Hairy Bikers, 58, onto the her breakfast show on BBC Radio 2 as he promoted their new book.
After his death, Si completed the book in his honour which he filled with fond memories of the pair throughout their career.
The 53-year-old broadcaster began their light-hearted interview by playing a snippet of the song Je Taime by Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg.

The silver fox immediately burst into laughter as Zoe quizzed him about the significance of the song in their new book. Si chuckled: “It reminds me of a naked Dave Myers in the shower after a motorcycle accident.”
The TV chef went on to explain how he was tasked with washing his close friend following his gruelling injury. He went on: “There was some parts that he simply couldn’t reach because of his broken limbs.
“So, he proceeded to ask me, ‘Could you wash under my armpits?’ and I said yeah. And as I was doing that – and bear in mind, he is naked – he started to sing Je Taime.
“And I just looked at him with this loofah in my hand and said, ‘If there is any movement downstairs, I’m out of here’.” Fans immediately flooded to the comments to share their love for their friendship online.

It comes after the dad-of-three paid a tearful tribute to Dave on Monday (October 21) in his first TV interview since his passing.
During an appearance on The One Show, Si explained how the spirit of their friendship will live on as he learns to cope with his former co-star's loss.

Speaking on the programme, he said: "It's the book that Dave and I started before he passed. I really wanted to finish it in his honour.
"It's all those recipes that have stuck with us throughout the years. Just because Dave's passed, it doesn't stop you being a friend. The spirit of our relationship will always be theer.
"It's been a big loss, I'm coping okaym thank you. It's a big adjustment. I know Dave would have wanted me to keep pushing on. I want to look after the legacy we built because I think it deserves the respect Dave and myself put into it."
Speaking about his future moving forward, Si teased: "There will be some pastures new that will come my way I'm sure."
