Jonnie Irwin buys kids 18th birthday gifts admitting 'heartbreaking' fear they won't remember him

Jonnie Irwin has revealed his heartbreaking reasons for purchasing his three young sons their gifts in advance of their eighteenth birthdays despite it still being more than a decade away, so his children will remember him on their milestone days.

The former A Place In The Sun host, 49, is tragically suffering from terminal cancer and has been open about his fears for his kids Rex, three, and two-year-old twins Rafa and Cormac who he shares with his wife Jessica Holmes who he tied the knot with in 2016.

Dad-of-three Jonnie has admitted he is yet to break the news to his three boys about his cancer diagnosis following the announcement last year that he is unsure how long he has to live when the lung cancer spread to his brain and his illness progressed.
