Jonnie Irwin kept his cancer diagnosis secret amid fears he'd lose television work.
The A Place In The Sun star, 49, revealed earlier this month he had been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, but he is determined to live every day rather than say he is dying from the disease. His young children - his two-year-old twins and his three-year-old son - are unaware of his diagnosis and he wants to keep it that way for the time being as not to worry them.
Jonnie claims he was axed by A Place In The Sun after his cancer diagnosis. They claimed they weren't able to get insurance for him to work abroad - but he says they didn't fight hard enough to keep them.
