Jonnie Irwin Lung Cancer Diagnosis – Health Update
Jonnie Irwin has recently been open about his Lung Cancer. He was diagnosed with the condition in 2020 but had only recently decided to speak publicly about his illness.
The famous TV presenter also accused the producers of A Place In The Sun of dropping him from the series as soon as he informed them he was dying.
He claims the bosses paid him off mid-series for the rest of the season when he revealed his terminal Lung Cancer diagnosis but did not renew his contract even though they knew he wanted to continue.
“That hurt. That broke my heart. I feel hugely let down. I can’t even watch the show now,” Jonnie added. He had assured the producers to get notes from his oncologist stating he was fit to work.
Freeform Productions and Channel 4 said “no stone was left unturned” to find a way for Jonnie to stay, but they could not get insurance.
Jonnie first realized something wrong while he was filming the show in Italy. His vision became blurry while driving. After returning, doctors gave him six months to live.
He has presented A Place in the Sun since 2004 and appeared on Escape to the Country since 2010.

The 49-year-old is now in constant pain with liver issues that resulted from chemotherapy. He says he does not know how much time he has left before the lung Cancer spreads to his brain.
When he first found out about his situation, he had the challenge of telling his wife, who was at home looking after their kids.
