Former A Place In The Sun star Amanda Lamb has admitted that she found the sad news of co-star Jonnie Irwin's terminal cancer diagnosis "beyond heartbreaking".
Amanda, who presented the Channel 4 series from 2001 until 2009, applauded her former colleague's "dignity" after he revealed in November that he had been diagnosed with lung cancer that had spread to his brain. Support poured in for the star from his colleagues and fans as he admitted that he was initially given just six months to live following the devastating diagnosis when filming A Place In The Sun in August 2020.
Jonnie, who is a dad to his four-year-old son Rex and two-year-old twins Rafa and Cormac, said that he wants to "let the good times roll for as long as possible" with his family and make the most of his time by creating special memories with his kids. And former co-star Amanda, 50, has become the latest person to publicly praise "gorgeous human being" Jonnie for his handling of the heartbreaking situation.
