Jonnie Irwin news

In November 2022, Jonnie confirmed cancer had spread to his brain. He also revealed last year he had been told in 2020 he had six months to live when first diagnosed with lung cancer.

He has since shared the heartbreaking challenges he has faced and continue to face with his illness. These have included the distressing moment he told his wife Jess about his condition.

An emotional Jonnie recalled: “That’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. How do you tell a woman who only two months before has had twins… how do you tell her you’re not going to be around any more?”

But amid his health battle, social media followers have offered constant encouragement and support to Jonnie online. And that love was also extended on Jonnie’s recent post, with well wishers telling him he’s “looking good”.
