Jonnie Irwin has shared a big home life update amid his terminal cancer battle.

The A Place in the Sun presenter, 49, shared a post to his Instagram on Wednesday (July 19). In the post, Jonnie showed off a home transformation.

Jonnie explained that “previously a cold virtually unused part of the house has been transformed whilst in keeping with the original 60’s character”.

The star wrote: “Phase 1 complete. Previously a cold virtually unused part of the house has been transformed whilst in keeping with the original 60’s character. The main difference has been to punch through the south facing wall and create an enormous view onto the garden via a bespoke @alunag_aluminiumsupplier window.

“This idea rightfully had its doubters but I think the gamble has paid off. Replacement windows and sliding doors match the design and profiles which is key. The stove in the corner even makes this large room cosy in the cold weather so thanks to @northumberlandstoves for your advice on this.

“I’m really happy with the end result and even think Don Draper would approve! #madmenstyle #renovation.”

Meanwhile, someone else added: “That is fabulous – always go with your gut feelings.”
