Always my favourite ETTC presenter... So very brave. His poor wife.
His children are so young...

Just seen that. Such sad news. Heartbreaking when cancer takes people from their young families.

PicaK · 02/02/2024 19:20

Oh no. I hoped he'd have more time.

Fizbosshoes · 02/02/2024 19:22

I just saw that, unbelievably sad for his wife and children.

TomatoketchupfromMandS · 02/02/2024 19:32

I bloody hate cancer. So unfair.

God, 50 is no age at all. So sad.

VisionsOfSplendour · 02/02/2024 19:40

That is a shame, he'd been looking a lot better lately I thought, poor wife and children

RIP

His poor children and wife. Cancer is shit.

Pancakeorcrepe · 02/02/2024 19:45

It’s so sad. It’s an awful and unfair disease.

Ellemeg82 · 02/02/2024 19:47

Always enjoyed seeing him on Escape to the county and A place in the sun.
Too soon to go, especially with a young family.

ASwimADay · 02/02/2024 19:47

Awfully sad. We always used to pick A Place In The Sun episodes on catch up that he was hosting as he was so funny and warm.

Thinking of his wife, children and wider family.

He was also very brave talking about his diagnosis and struggles.

Arewefucked · 02/02/2024 19:48

So so sad . Rest easy Jonny .X

A great presenter with a lovely warm personality. So sorry for his family. He was courageous and brave trying to inspire others to live life to the full.
