Jonnie Irwin in tears as he says he has been 'at death's door' at least twice

A Place In The Sun presenter Jonnie Irwin broke down in tears as he said he has been 'at death's door at least twice' in his fight with terminal cancer. Johnnie, who was diagnosed in 2020 and told he had six months to live, spoke about his health scares as cancer has now spread to his brain.

In an emotional interview, the presenter told the OneChat podcast with AIG life: "The programme is to try and remain positive. Positive for me is burying my head in the sand a bit. (My wife) Jess and I don't talk about it much and we've been close to death's door a few times now. Twice at least."

He added: "Apart from those times we've not really talked about it. Financially we're slowly getting stuff in place, transferring account details and putting stuff in her name but being positive such an important factor. I do that by not talking about it too much."
