Jonnie Irwin shares picture from ‘best Father’s Day ever’ with his three young children
JONNIE Irwin posted a selection of sweet pictures from ‘best Father’s Day ever’ with his three young children.
The 49-year-old took to Instagram to share what he got up to with his family over the weekend.
Jonnie, who was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in 2020, was treated to a very special day by his three boys Rex, three, Rafa, Cormac, both two, and his wife Jessica Holmes.
In one picture Jonnie was all smiles as he held a bar of chocolate surrounded by his sons, while in another he enjoyed a slice of cake outside.
He also posted a snap of the cards that the youngsters made, as well him in motorcycle gear.
Jonnie captioned the post: “Had The best Father’s Day ever.
“Breakfast of Chocolate Guinness cake baked expertly my brilliant wife then cards from the boys and visit from my brother in law for a brief pillion ride back in time to enjoy some of the highs and lows of the Ashes ending in more cake with more family washed down by a drop of champers. #fathersday.”
Many rushed to the comments section to share the love.
One said: “Thank you for sharing the moments of your special Fathers day with your family Jonnie. If I could have one miracle right now I’d give it to you.”
Another wrote: “Think of you every day Jonnie. You are giving your boys memories of a wonderful, brave daddy.”
“Lucky boys having you as their Dad,” a third chimed in.
A fourth added: “Memories Memories Memories, Something you will cherish forever, hope you are as well as can be expected.”
Last month Jonnie shared a health update after admitting he was in hospital after being admitted earlier this week.
The much-loved TV show host is bravely battling terminal lung cancer which has since spread to his brain after he was diagnosed in 2020.
He said on social media: “In hospital this week monitoring a changeover in my pain management regime.”
In the same month he opened up about his daily struggles in a new podcast.
Father-of-three Jonnie said: “I have been close to death’s door, twice at least.”
Doctors told him he only had six months to live when they discovered lung cancer in 2020.
He defied those predictions, despite the fatal condition spreading to his brain.
In a new podcast titled OneChat, Jonnie explained: “I am living with cancer rather than dying from cancer.”
Jonnie shot to fame in 2004 on Channel 4’s A Place In The Sun.
