TV property show presenter Jonnie Irwin has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and says he doesn't know how long he has left to live. The father-of-three was diagnosed two years ago but kept his illness private until now.
The host of Channel 4 ’s A Place In The Sun and the BBC ’s Escape To The Country, revealed his lung cancer had spread to his brain, reports The Mirror. Now the 48-year-old hopes sharing his diagnosis will inspire others to "make the most of every day".
Irwin 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. “Within a week of flying back from filming, I was being given six months to live,” he said.
