Jonnie Irwin cracks fans up with 'bin washing' update from the bath amid terminal cancer battle

Jonnie Irwin blessed fans with an amusing update from the bathtub at the weekend - forced to scrub himself clean after an afternoon well spent washing out wheelie bins. The 49-year-old, who lives in Newcastle, said he 'made a promise to all' to stay in the bath after a 'jet washing marathon' - with the 'stink' of the bins clinging to him.

Always upbeat despite his terminal cancer diagnosis three years ago, Jonnie showed a snap of his legs in the tub - as the lover of cricket enjoyed The Ashes on his tablet. Taking to Instagram to share the photograph with his 181,000 followers, Jonnie wrote: "I went on a jet washing marathon earlier and got stuck in the washing the inside of my wheelie bins.

"I’m now sat stink and my back is killing me so I thought I’ll have a bath and watch the cricket with your volume down and test match."
