Jonnie Irwin says he has bought his young boys 18th birthday presents so they remember him

Jonnie Irwin says he has bought 18th birthday presents for his three young sons - more than a decade before the special occasions. He shared the details in a new interview as he updated fans on his tragic cancer battle.

He was initially diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in August 2020, after doctors told him the disease had spread to his brain. Now, almost three years on, Jonnie is planning for his children and wife's futures 'for the days he won't be there', reports Chronicle Live.

The former face of A Place in the Sun, 49, shares his three boys Rex, three, and twins Rafa and Cormac, two, with his wife Jessica Holmes. And he said he had already purchased three incredibly special gifts for his sons, which will be handed over when they each celebrate their milestone marks.
