Jonnie Irwin enjoys holiday with beloved family after terminal cancer diagnosis
Jonnie Irwin enjoyed a brief holiday with his beloved family as he continues to soak up quality family time after his terminal cancer diagnosis.
The A Place in the Sun star, 49, was given six months to live back in 2020 when he was told he had lung cancer, which has since sadly spread to his brain. But he's not letting his health get in the way of spending time with his loved ones. Taking to Instagram, sharing a carousel of photos of his sister, Amanda, wife Jessica and kids Rex, four, and two-year-old twins Rafa and Cormac in Beadnell, Northumberland, Jonnie told his fans he had "Just grabbed a few days up the coast". He added in the caption: "Rain or shine Beadnell always impresses."

The former rugby player wasn't prepared for the unlikely venue for the check-up as patients are usually asked to attend specialist hospitals for scanning. Taking to Instagram to reveal his shock when he discovered he was off to a portable scanner located at a nearby leisure centre car park, the father-of-three praised the NHS for its versatility.

Good luck keeping everything crossed."
