Jonnie Irwin says he 'takes every day as a gift' amid terminal cancer battle

Jonnie Irwin says he is "taking every day as a gift and as it comes" amid his terminal cancer battle.

The former A Place In The Sun presenter was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in 2020, before announcing at a later date it had spread to his brain. The father-of-three, 49, was told he had 'months to live' as he focuses on spending as much time with his family - wife Jessica Holmes, and kids, Rex, four, and two-year-old twins Rafa and Cormac.

The Channel 4 property expert posed alongside his BBC Escape to the Country co-stars at the TRIC Awards, and told The Mirror: "Today is a good day. Yesterday I peeled myself out of bed and munched painkillers but so far so good today. I take every day as a gift and as it comes."
