Jonnie Irwin suffers foot injury as fans offer advice after nasty fall
Jonnie Irwin revealed he suffered an injury on Monday after taking a tumble - after forgetting some builders had removed a step from his home.
The 49-year-old A Place In The Sun presenter was left to nurse himself after suffering the injury. And taking to social media at the start of the week, the star explained that he had injured his foot.
He uploaded a snap of his lower leg and foot - which looked like it was swelling and turning red. The TV host had covered his ankle with a chilled kool pak - but didn’t sound too devastated by his injury. He shared the snap online and added the caption: “When you forget the builder has removed your doorstep…”
