Channel 4 A Place in The Sun's Jonnie Irwin diagnosed with terminal cancer

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.
