Jonnie was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in 2020 and has been throwing himself into his career ever since. In November last year, he shared a heart breaking update that the cancer had spread to his brain.
Most recently, Jonnie revealed he had been battling a chest infection that had affected him particularly badly. He admitted that he had to have oxygen given to him in order to help him breathe.
But despite only being given six months to live when he first received his diagnosis, Jonnie has fought back against the disease, having undergone numerous treatments to keep his condition stable. Loyal fans have been showering the presenter with praise for being so resilient.
