Jonnie Irwin has shared why he kept he cancer diagnosis a secret and what made him share the truth during his first TV interview since revealing his terminal cancer diagnosis.
The presenter, who is known for hosting Channel 4's A Place In The Sun and the BBC's Escape To The Country, shared the devastating news last week, saying he had chosen to keep his illness private until now and hopes sharing it will inspire others to "make the most of every day."
Jonnie, who shares three-year-old son Rex and two-year-old twins Rafa and Cormac with his wife Jessica, revealed his lung cancer had spread to his brain, telling Hello magazine: "I don’t know how long I have left." He revealed 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.
