Jonnie Irwin has opened up about his tragic cancer diagnosis, explaining how he still hasn't told his three children that he's battling the devastating disease - while sharing his dying wish for his youngsters. The former A Place in the Sun presenter is preparing to spend his feared to be final Father's Day with his family, after revealing last year that lung cancer had spread to his brain in a terminal state of affairs.
Jonnie was first diagnosed back in August 2020, given just six months to live after being receiving medical advice when his vision became blurred while driving back from filming for the Channel 4 show. Almost three years on, the former host is preparing his heart-breaking goodbyes to wife Jess and sons Rex, four, and two-year-old twins Rafa and Cormac.
However, Jonnie has detailed how he has still been unable to break the news to his kids, as given their age, it would be too confusing.
