The well-known host of two television shows revealed he has terminal cancer. In an emotional and moving conversation, Jonnie Irwin, presenter of Escape to the Country, first explains his diagnosis of lung cancer that has spread to his brain.
The star had previously chosen to keep his illness private, but he has now decided to give his only interview to “get the monkey off my back.”
Jonnie, who lives with his wife Jessica, 40, and his children Rex, 3, Rafa, 2, and Cormac, 2, tells the magazine, “I don’t know how long I have, but I try to think positively and retain the perspective that I am living with cancer rather than dying from it.”
