A Place In The Sun’s Jonnie Irwin shares sweet snaps with family and friends after revealing terminal cancer diagnosis
A PLACE In The Sun star Jonnie Irwin shared sweet snaps of his family on Thursday after revealing his terminal cancer diagnosis.
The TV presenter and property expert has been on holiday in New York and said he extended the trip to visit friends.
Jonnie, 49, looked happy at a pal’s home with all their kids having a good time.
His younger son sat on his lap eating a bag of crisps, while another photo showed his wife Nicki showing the kids a beautiful horse in a stableyard.
Alongside a gallery of photos the TV star penned: “After NY with family tacked on a couple of days and ventured deeper south. Splendid! #friends”
One fan replied: “Haha looks like mayhem!”
Another said: “Love you Johnny! Best APITS presenter ever! ”
His former co-star Amanda Lamb recently said how proud she was to see Jonnie making the most of life with his family.
She said: “I love the fact he is doing all these experiences and he is going to all these places. I hope he gets to see many more. But it’s horrific and I can’t bear it.
“He is such a gorgeous human being and it’s beyond heartbreaking. Life is so unfair. I’ve sent a message to Jonnie. He knows how loved he is but – rightly – he needs to focus on his immediate family now.”
Amanda hosted A Place in the Sun from 2001 until 2009.
Jonnie joined the popular Channel 4 series in 2004 and stayed on as a presenter until 2021.
He was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2020, and said he has been given just months to live.
