Jonnie Irwin's heartbreaking Christmas update as he shares family plans

Television presenter Jonnie Irwin has spoken about his diagnoses after receiving the devastating news that he has terminal cancer as he prepares for his 'last Christmas ' with his family.

The Place in the Sun star said he went from no symptoms at all to a terminal diagnosis in a couple of days. He has described how after filming an episode of A Place in the Sun, the star said he had "squares coming into my vision" while driving and was subsequently told to go to hospital by a sound man on the Channel 4 show, the Mirror reports.

"I wanted to finish the show but.... they did some tests. I went home, returned the following day and they said I had six months to live," he told MailOnline.
