A Place in the Sun star and Escape to the Country host Jonnie Irwin speaks for the first time about how he has been diagnosed with lung cancer which has spread to his brain
November 13, 2022 - 16:55 GMT Belinda Robey The popular host of two television shows has revealed he has terminal cancer. In a moving and emotional interview with HELLO! magazine, Escape to the Country host Jonnie Irwin speaks for the first time about how he has been diagnosed with lung cancer which has spread to his brain. Until now, the star has chosen to keep his illness private but he has decided to give his only interview in a bid to get"the monkey off my back".
"One day, this is going to catch up with me," he adds."But I'm doing everything I can to hold that day off for as long as possible. I owe that to Jess and our boys. Some people in my position have bucket lists, but I just want us to do as much as we can as a family. Jonnie also wants to encourage people to take out life insurance. Always"a risk-taker", he finally did so when the twins were born."That has helped so much and when I leave this planet, I'll do so knowing Jess and the boys are in a house that is fully paid off and there's a bit of money in the bank for them to live off."
