Terminally ill Jonnie Irwin shares update on cancer battle as he’s praised by A Place In The Sun fans
TERMINALLY ill Jonnie Irwin has shared an update on his cancer battle as he’s praised by fans.
The A Place in the Sun presenter, 49, stunned fans last year by revealing his heartbreaking diagnosis.
Jonnie, who has three young children with wife Jessica Holmes, is living with lung cancer.
In an update to his concerned fans, Jonnie has taken to social media to reveal he had CT and MRI scans to monitor the illness.
However, he shared how the screening took place outside of hospital in a remote portable scanner.
Posting on Instagram, he said: “I got some scans today. Not in a hospital but in a leisure centre car park. MRI and CT unit. In this, surprisingly.
“I actually had a great experience. We were able to park almost on the doorstep, no queue and done n dusted in under 15 minutes. Well done #nhs.”
Fans flooded his comments with praise as they wished the TV presenter well.
One wrote: “Looking really well Irwin! See you all soon.”
A second said: “You are doing amazing Good luck with the MRI and CT scans.”
“Good luck with your scans, your looking good,” said a third.
While a fourth commented: “You look great xx good luck keeping everything crossed.”
Jonnie, who was axed by Channel 4’s A Place in the Sun after producers were made aware of his illness, shared his daily struggles in a new podcast.
“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 two-and-a-half years ago.
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.”
