On Sunday TV property show presenter Jonnie Irwin revealed he has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. The father-of-three has kept his illness private for two years and doesn't know how long he has left to live.
The host of Channel 4's A Place In The Sun and the BBC's Escape To The Country said his lung cancer had spread to his brain, reports The Mirror. The 48-year-old said his first symptom came while he was filming A Place In The Sun in August 2020 in Italy, when his vision became blurry while driving. "Within a week of flying back from filming, I was being given six months to live," he said.
According to Cancer Research UK, blurred vision and other sight issues can sometimes indicate a tumour growing in the brain. The website reads: "The symptoms can develop gradually over some months or even years if the tumour is slow growing. Or quickly over days or weeks if the tumour is fast growing."
