A Place in the Sun's Jonnie Irwin has given fans a health update amid his terminal cancer battle - revealing that he has just started hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
The 49 year old first shared that he had terminal lung cancer in November 2022, but had initially been diagnosed in 2020. Speaking to Hello! at the time, he said: "I don't know how long I have left, but I try to stay positive and my attitude is that I'm living with cancer, not dying from it." Since going public with his diagnosis, the cancer has spread to Jonnie's brain, with the presenter undergoing a myriad of treatments over the course of the last few years.
However, despite the cards being stacked against him, Jonnie has remained positive throughout, and has been a source of inspiration to all. Especially to his young family - his wife, Jess, and their three sons: Rex, who was born in 2018 and twins Rafa and Cormac, who they welcomed in 2020.
Here, we take a look at what Jonnie has been going through since he announced his diagnosis, from his change in lifestyle to the different treatments. March 2023: Jonnie celebrated his 50th birthday early Despite his actual birthday being in November, Jonnie celebrated his milestone 50th earlier in the year.
The presenter threw a huge party with 170 family and friends, with people coming from "all over the country and abroad." He told The Sun after the event: "I didn’t know the extent of the loyalty and generosity that my friends would exhibit.
I’ve been dumbfounded and spellbound by their support, as well as that of our families, who have been amazing. “I just wanted to do something to celebrate my birthday and had no idea how many people would actually turn up.
