TV presenter Jonnie Irwin has revealed he celebrated his 50th birthday early as he provided an update on his terminal cancer diagnosis. The 49-year-old, who presented Channel 4’s A Place In The Sun and the BBC’s Escape To The Country, said in November he has lung cancer which has spread to his brain.
In a new interview with The Sun, he said: “I’m weak now, fragile and my memory is terrible… but I’m still here.”
Irwin, who shares three-year-old son Rex and two-year-old twins Rafa and Cormac with his wife Jessica, admitted his health issues have made playing with his children more challenging. He said: “I tried to play football with Rex the other day and was in goal and I couldn’t get near the ball.
