A Place In The Sun presenter Scarlette Douglas has been left devastated after discovering fellow star Jonnie Irwin has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Scarlette, who has been the latest star to be voted off I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! said she would be sending a message to Jonnie, who comes from the Midlands, and his family.
The awful news had been kept from her while she was in the Australian jungle, due to celebs not being allowed to know of any outside world news while on the show, unless it is about a direct family member. She said: “I knew that he wasn’t well, but I didn’t know this. I’ve come out and been told there was something in the papers that he is not well. I didn’t know the true extent of it.”
Father-of-three Jonnie, who comes from Leicester, told Hello! Magazine last week he has secretly been battling terminal cancer and was given six months to live two years ago, the Mirror reports. Scarlette said: “I had heard, but I didn’t realise it was terminal, which makes it sound imminent.
