The former presenter of A Place In The Sun Jonnie Irwin says he is "taking every day as a gift" after being diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in 2020. Jonnie, 49, received the diagnosis in 2020 as doctors told him the cancer had spread to his brain.
Jonnie now says he is trying to live life to the fullest with his three young sons and wife. Speaking to the Mirror at the TRIC Awards on Tuesday in London, he said: "Today is a good day. Yesterday I peeled myself out of bed and munched painkillers but so far so good today."
Jonnie previously spoke about how he felt "thrown on a scrap heap" by A Place In The Sun bosses after revealing his cancer diagnosis amid claims they couldn't insure him. But he said BBC's Escape To The Country - where he worked alongside Jules Hudson and Nicki Chapman - were like a "family" to him, the Mirror reports.
