Jonnie Irwin Place In The Sun terminal cancer

[PandoraRocks]

Very sad to read this as I really like him as a presenter on Escape To The Country. He's only 48.

Apparently, he was diagnosed with lung cancer 2 years ago and it has now spread to the brain. He has decided to go public with his terminal diagnosis.

i read this earlier was shocked im guessing its getting worse so making it public

That's really sad. My brother was diagnosed terminal with cancer at 50. It's still a young age for that 🥺

That's really sad, poor guy.

I’ve just read it also, so sad and 3 pre primary age children as well 😟

He seems a lovely fella. I feel for his family. Poor guy.

so terribly sad to read about this..he is an amazing presenter that always has great warmth and a sense of humour in all of the programmes that he presented. hope that he can live the best life ever in the time he has to come.

That's really sad.

How very very sad for him and his family.

I saw this earlier and feel so sad for him and his family. So unfair.

I love him as a presenter, always thought he came across well, as a genuine person.

It must be devastating having to tell your family this - his poor wife and his poor children.

He mentions how pleased he is that he has life insurance and that it gives his family security. I suspect the big Hello interview is also about the money - cant blame him.

I cant imagine how stressful it is to know you wont be there for your family. I genuinely wish him well.

Very shocked to read this. I was surprised to read that he is 48. He's always looked so much younger. Always enjoyed the shows he's on.

So sad that he has three very young children who he won't see grow up. I can only imagine how awful this is for his family and feel terribly sad for his poor children.

I’m shocked at this, he was always my favourite presenter.

So sad, he is one of my favourite Escape presenters.

Oh no that is absolutely gutting. I think he’s the best presenter on the property programmes. I’m genuinely really upset.

So very sad to see this. He was a great presenter, always seemed really interested in the people he was working with. Horrible to know he has to leave his young family. Much sympathy to them.

Very shocked and sad to read this. What a beautiful family. He always seems so lovely.

Oh my word, I am so sorry to hear this.

I’m very sad for him, to be going through a dreadful disease and to miss out on time with his young family.

And desperately sad for his poor wife left behind to cope with it all, the aftermath of her own grief and the inevitable impact on the boys.

Jonnie, you’ve been a firm favourite on A Place In The Sun for years - thank you for that.

I was shocked and saddened to read this today. Lovely guy, great presenter. He says he’s living for each day and just enjoying what time he has.

I read the statement earlier. Poor man, his poor wife and kids. I hope that all of the media appearances he is doing now help him leave his family financially secure. Life is so unfair sometimes

Very sad for him & his family.

Watched a Place in the Sun for years & really enjoyed his presenting.

I too was shocked. He was always so chipper o A Place in the Sun.
Such a difficult time for him and his loved ones. Too young.
