In the latest Jonnie Irwin news, the TV presenter has been inspired by a fellow cancer sufferer to make a big lifestyle change.
The Place In the Sun host, 49, confirmed he has cancer that has spread to his brain in November.
The married dad-of-three said at the time: “I don’t know how long I have left, but I try to stay positive and my attitude is that I’m living with cancer, not dying from it.”
And now Jonnie has hailed a book by author Jane McLelland as giving him “hope in an otherwise hopeless situation”.
Jane is a stage four cancer survivor who has been in remission since 2004.
