Messages of support have come pouring in for a "great presenter" who was given just six months to live.
Jonnie Irwin, who presents Channel 4 ’s A Place in the Sun and the BBC ’s Escape To The Country, has been diagnosed with lung cancer which has spread to his brain. The 48-year-old said he had chosen to keep his illness private until now, but hopes sharing his diagnosis will encourage others to "make the most of every day".
The dad-of-three said the first warning sign of his illness came while he was filming A Place In The Sun in August 2020 in Italy, when his vision became blurry while driving. Within weeks of flying back from filming, he was given the devastating news that he had just six months to live.
