Jonnie Irwin says he kept terminal cancer a secret for so long over fears of being 'thrown on scrap heap'

Jonnie Irwin has revealed that he kept his terminal cancer diagnosis a secret for so long as he needed to feed his babies and 'pay the bills' - citing worries of being 'thrown on the scrap heap'.

The former A Place in the Sun host was initially diagnosed with lung cancer back in August 2020 while filming for the show, when his vision became blurred while driving prompting medical attention.

Experts gave Jonnie just six months to live after discovering that the cancer had spread to his brain - but almost three years later, he is still fighting the heart-breaking condition.
