Jonnie Irwin on 'terrifying' terminal cancer diagnosis on Good Morning Britain in first TV interview

Jonnie Irwin has revealed that he kept his terminal cancer diagnosis a secret, in fear that he would lose work and be treated different by people around him.

Earlier this month, the A Place In The Sun presenter, aged 49, went public with his lung cancer diagnosis - but was determined to continue a relatively normal life rather than being beaten by the devastating disease.

This morning, Jonnie was on ITV's Good Morning Britain to discuss his "terrifying" diagnosis for the first time on national television, touching on why he decided to keep it a secret for so long.
