dailyrecord.co.ukJonnie Irwin has revealed the symptoms he first experienced which led to a diagnosis of terminal cancer. The television presenter has lung cancer which has spread to his brain and was previously keeping his health problems a secret from the public.
Speaking on his condition for the first time to Hello! magazine, the Escape to the Country host decided to go public to "get the monkey off my back." In the emotional interview, Irwin revealed that he first noticed something was off back in 2020 in Italy when filming A Place in the Sun.
All was well until his vision went blurry while driving, which he got checked out upon his return to the UK. A mere one week after coming home, Jonnie was told that he had just months to live after undergoing tests."Within a week of flying back from filming, I was being given six months to live," he recalled."I had to go home and tell my wife, who was looking after our babies, that she was on her own pretty much.
