Jonnie Irwin's sister hails 'absolute fighter' brother amid terminal cancer battle

Jonnie Irwin's incredibly proud sister has hailed her brother as an 'absolute fighter', as he continues to put on a brave face through his terminal cancer fight.

Amanda admitted that she 'doesn't know how he does it' as the former A Place in the Sun presenter makes the most of every day he has left.

Jonnie, 49, was given his devastating diagnosis in August 2020, after being prompted to seek medical assistance when his vision became blurred driving back from filming. After tests, doctors told him he had lung cancer which had spread to his brain, giving him just six months left to live.
