Presenter Jonnie Irwin has spoken about why he kept his terminal cancer diagnosis secret in a heart-breaking interview and why his young children still don't know. Speaking on Good Morning Britain on Thursday, November 24, he said how he and his wife and made the decision not to tell their three young children because "why would you spend your days thinking about cancer".
The 49-year-old shares three-year-old son Rex and two-year-old twins Rafa and Cormac with his wife Jessica. He said: "It has only been recently that I have considered when we are going to tell them. They are so young. I don't think there is any need to tell them. I think it would be a lot for them to get their heads around, so for now let's keep the good times roll for as long as possible.
"I try my best to put my head in the sand as much as possible. I think why bother spend your days thinking about cancer when there are other things to think about."
