Jonnie Irwin shares his hopes of providing for his children after he's gone in heartbreaking interview

Jonnie Irwin has been sharing his plan on how he hopes to provide for his three young children after he's gone in a heartbreaking interview. The TV property show host revealed last month that he has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and says he doesn't know how long he has left to live.

The father-of-three was diagnosed two years ago but kept his illness private until now. The host of Channel 4 ’s A Place In The Sun and the BBC ’s Escape To The Country, revealed his lung cancer had spread to his brain. Now the 48-year-old is speaking out in the hope it will inspire others to "make the most of every day".

On Thursday, December 15, he joined presenter Gethin Jones on BBC's Morning Live to talk about how he is planning for the future of his sons Rex, three, and two-year-old twins Rafa and Cormac.
