A Place in the Sun's Ben Hillman pays sweet tribute to Jonnie Irwin in awards speech
A Place In The Sun star Ben Hillman gave a gushing speech at the TRIC Awards to his "fantastic" co-star Jonnie Irwin amid his terminal cancer battle.
Jonnie previously said that 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 Ben took to the stage at the awards ceremony and thanked his former co-star in the sweet speech. He added: "This is fantastic, thank you to TRIC, thank you to everybody that has voted for us. It is 23 years almost now which is unbelievable, there are so many people from behind the scenes here who do amazing work and keep the show on the road."
While looking at the audience, Ben added: "I know you're out there somewhere, Jonnie. This one is for you too, Jonnie, and thanks Channel 4, I think that's got it."
