Jonnie Irwin all smiles as he confirms return to television in cancer fight

Jonnie Irwin had a huge smile on his face as he got back to work amid his cancer battle.

The A Place In The Sun presenter – who is fighting terminal lung cancer that has now spread to his brain – shared a snap on Instagram as he worked on BBC Morning Live. It showed him beaming as he told his followers what it meant to him to be shooting again.

“So good to be back filming for @bbcmorninglive,” wrote the TV star, 49. "We’ve just shot two short films about renovating your home and what to look out for."

He went on: "I think my smug smile betrays the lack of a massive commute for once and the extra couple of hours I got in my scratcher as we filmed in Newcastle Upon Tyne. I’ll let you know when they are due to go out, when I know myself.”

Fans said they were thrilled to see the popular father-of-three looking so well as he got back to work. “Keep fighting the good fight,” one person urged.

“Back on TV where you belong and looking totally amazing!” said another. Someone else wrote in the comments section: “You look fantastic and your eyes are sparkling.” Others said that the presenter looked "great".

“Right back where you belong!” commented another viewer, adding: “Doing your fabulous presenting.” “Wonderful to see you back,” remarked someone else. “You’re inspirational Jonnie,” said another of his fans.

The Escape To The Country star announced last year that he had been diagnosed with lung cancer, saying that he didn’t know how long he had left but wanted to “make memories” with his wife Jess and their little boys – Rex, four, and three-year-old twins Rafa and Cormac.

He was actually diagnosed with cancer in 2020 but kept it quiet for bit, and has since said that he did so because he was worried it would hurt his career and affect his ability to provide for his family.
