Yahoo Finance Jonnie Irwin enjoys 'special' getaway with family amid cancer battle
Jonnie Irwin has been making some more cherished memories with his family amid his terminal cancer battle.
The former A Place In The Sun star, 49, took to Instagram over the weekend to reveal that he and his wife Jessica Holmes, 41, headed to the idyllic park of Jesmond Dean in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne with sons, Rex, 5, and three-year-old Cormac and Rafa in-tow for some muddy cycling adventures.
Uploading a series of shots from their time away to the picture sharing app, Irwin penned: "Apart from the constant peril of fearing one of the lads is gonna jump in or not hit the breaks in time we all got home without incident and probably as wet as if we had all gone in but Jesmond Dean is a special place to visit in any weather, home now for a lot fire to dry out."
His fans were loving the update, hailing him in the comments section as a "fantastic role model" not just for his boys, but for others too.
"I just love this l am so happy. Johnny has been giving more time with his adorable family," wrote one person."You are just such a fantastic role model for us all," remarked another. "I'm mentally at my rock bottom but watching you and your family carry on and with so much love and hope gratitude in your faces makes me feel like I’m pretty pathetic.
"I admire your gratitude and attitude hopefully I will get as brave as you," they added.
"Stick with it. Baby steps and you’ll get there. X," replied the caring TV presenter.
Irwin's update comes after he revealed he had been suffering from a chest infection, which he was treating with antibiotics, a session in a hyperbaric chamber and deep breathing in a salt room.
The setback comes nearly a year after Irwin revealed he had terminal lung cancer, after first being diagnosed with the devastating disease in 2020.
