Much-loved TV presenter Jonnie Irwin posted an upbeat update - as England’s cricketers gave him and the rest of the country a much-needed boost. The Escape to the Country star who is suffering from terminal cancer gave his followers a boost as he grinned while sitting on a patio with two friends.
And Jonnie posted that he was looking forward to watching Today at the Test on the BBC after the men’s team narrowly squeaked home to beat Australia at Headingley by three wickets. The win, which looked in doubt after Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow fell in quick succession means the England team is firmly back in the series at 2:1 in terms of wins with two tests still to play.
Jonnie posted in his Instagram story and said ‘catching the end of the ashes’ and added ‘can’t wait to watch today at the ashes later!’. The trio were sitting with drinks in the sun and his fans will have been delighted to see Jonnie relaxing and having fun.
