A Place in the Sun presenter Jonnie Irwin headed on night out with a friend shortly after receiving cancer treatment.
The property expert, 49, who is fighting terminal lung cancer that has now spread to his brain, is living life to the full as he continues his battle with the disease. The dad-of-three went to watch The Streets in concert and documented his night on Instagram for his 228,000 followers.
Sharing a selection of snaps and videos from the gig, Jonnie revealed he skipped resting to attend and despite being “pretty whacked” afterwards, it was completely worth it. He penned: “What a night! Probs should be resting after radio therapy to my swede the day before but F it right?!

“Looking great Jonnie. Admire your drive so much!” echoed a fourth. While someone else exclaimed: “U are brilliant! Still doing stuff like this, a true inspiration, u look really well too.”
Jonnie was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2020 and was told by doctors that he could have just six months to live. The Channel 4 star shares three young sons, Rex, four, and twins Rafa and Cormac, three, with his wife Jessica Holmes. He has chosen not to tell his children about his illness to avoid “confusing” them.

Earlier this year, he opened up about this decision, telling Hello! magazine: “I keep being asked, ‘Are you going to tell them?’ but tell them what? It would be horrible news that they’d have to get their heads around.
“And it would confuse the hell out of Rex – he’s got a shocking enough day coming. Let’s bury our heads in the sand for as long as possible.”
