Jonnie Irwin has revealed that he has already purchased his three sons' 18th birthday gifts more than a decade early - so they remember him on their big day. The former face of A Place in the Sun, 49, shares his three boys Rex, three, and twins Rafa and Cormac, two, with his wife Jessica Holmes.
The father of three, who recently admitted that he is yet to reveal his terminal cancer diagnosis to his youngsters, announced last year that he is unsure how long he has left with his family. He was initially diagnosed with terminal lung cancer back in August 2020, after doctors told him that the disease has spread to his brain.
Now, almost three years on, Jonnie is planning for his children and wife's futures 'for the days he won't be there'. He's already purchased three incredibly special gifts for his sons, which will be handed over when they each celebrate their milestone marks.
