TV presenter Jonnie Irwin has opened up about the moment that "broke him" amid his heartbreaking cancer journey, as the A Place in the Sun host revealed he'd celebrated his 50th birthday months early.
Jonnie, who has three children with wife Jess, said he was trying to play with son, Rex and "felt like a grandad". He told The Sun: “I tried to play football with Rex the other day and was in goal and I couldn’t get near the ball. It was so frustrating.
“I’m very sporty and suddenly it’s just like…it was as if it was the first time I’d attempted football. I felt like a granddad. And that broke me a bit. I always thought, ‘I’m an older dad but I’ll be leading from the front’ but I’m now at the back.”
