Jonnie Irwin supported by fans as he posts rare snap with 'grateful' update amid cancer battle

Jonnie Irwin has been greeted by a host of supportive comments after he issued a 'grateful' update on social media this week.

The 49-year-old was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer back in August 2020, and given just six months to live after the disease had spread to his brain.

Almost three years on, and Jonnie is still making memories with his wife Jess, and three sons, Rex, Rafa and Cormac at their home in Newcastle. He has also been quite active on social media, sharing beautiful family snaps while updating followers on his cancer battle.
