Echoing their thoughts, someone else said: “Enjoy every minute with your lovely little family.”
“You look great Jonnie that table and furniture is amazing!! Love it and your family your all stars!!!!” proclaimed a third fan.
It comes after Jonnie opened up about a big regret amid his terminal cancer fight, saying he wants people to learn from his “mistake”.
Speaking on AIG Life’s The OneChat podcast, Jonnie said he wanted to leave a “positive footprint” in the world as he talked about what he wished he’d done differently.
“I want people to learn from my mistake,” he said.

“I didn’t take critical illness insurance out and therefore I had to keep working.
“Without work, I’ve got no means of paying the bills.
“And if I had taken the critical illness insurance out, that could’ve covered my outgoings and I probably could have come out and told the world a lot sooner.”
“I could have had two years of living a more open lifestyle,” added the 49-year-old.
“And I want people to learn from that mistake.”
Jonnie said to be able to concentrate on family and friends and the “battle” is “the most important thing” and that because he didn’t have that cover he hadn’t been able to do that.
