Jonnie Irwin, 50, passed away from lung cancer on Friday, according to his wife Jessica Holmes.

Jessica shared the heartbreaking news on Instagram, describing her cherished spouse, with whom she had kids Rex, five, and twins Rafa and Cormac, two, as really exceptional.

Jonnie, a television broadcaster, reported in November that his cancer has progressed to his brain after being diagnosed in 2020. He went away on Friday.

Jonnie previously stated that a change in his vision was the first symptom of his disease that he observed.

The television host had been filming A Place In The Sun in Italy when he began to see ‘strange gold spots’ while driving.

A crew member in the automobile was concerned and drove him to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with nodules around his brain.

Jonnie flew immediately back to the United Kingdom and proceeded to the hospital.

He stated: ‘Within a few hours I got told I had cancer. And I was like “right.”‘

‘Then a few hours later, my good friend Rahul was sat with me when they said it is terminal cancer and I had six months to live.’
