A Place In The Sun’s Jonnie Irwin wraps up warm on night out with his wife amid cancer battle
JONNIE Irwin looked in good spirits as he wrapped up warm for a night out with his wife Jessica.
The A Place in the Sun presenter, 49, revealed in November that he has terminal lung cancer which has spread to his brain.
Jonnie and Jessica, 40, put on a loved-up display as they stepped out in Newcastle for the opening of a new restaurant last night.
Dressing for the freezing weather, the TV presenter stood out in a bright red coat.
Meanwhile Jessica looked stylish in all black as they posed happily for snappers.
Jonnie, who shares sons Rex, three, and twins Rafa and Cormac, two, with Jessica was previously given just six months to live.
The Escape to the Country host bravely told Hello! Magazine: “I don’t know how long I have left, but I try to stay positive and my attitude is that I’m living with cancer, not dying from it.
“I set little markers – things I want to be around for. I got into the habit of saying: ‘Don’t plan ahead because I might not be well enough.’
“But now I want to make plans. I want to make memories and capture these moments with my family because the reality is, my boys are going to grow up not knowing their dad and that breaks my heart.”
Jonnie discovered he had cancer – which has spread to his brain – a week after filming A Place in the Sun in Italy in August 2020.
He recently shared a huge update with fans as he told how told how he’d started hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
