Jonnie Irwin praised over 'walk of shame' moment in Newcastle amid cancer battle

Jonnie Irwin has been inundated with support from fans after sharing a 'crazed and panicked' moment he experienced in Newcastle.

The A Place in the Sun presenter, 49, has been vocal about his terminal lung cancer diagnosis in the hope of raising awareness about the disease, after doctors gave him just months to live when he was diagnosed with the devastating illness back in August 2020. Jonnie and his Geordie wife Jessica own a house in Newcastle, and the star has been undergoing treatment in the city.

In a new Instagram post, Jonnie shared an update with followers as he recalled almost missing his train when leaving Newcastle.
