A Place in the Sun ’s Amanda Lamb is heartbroken for Jonnie Irwin following his terminal cancer diagnosis.
Jonnie, 49, was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in 2020, which has tragically spread to his brain. He has been undergoing radiotherapy, chemotherapy and medication treatment to prolong his life, and overcame the odds of being given just six months to live two years ago.
Jonnie opted to keep his diagnosis to himself for over two years, and claimed that the producers of the home improvement show paid him off midway through the season and didn’t renew his contract after he informed them of his illness.
