“Kids loved it, got soaked in the rain, quick change when we got home to go again at a Christening party. Full on Sunday.”

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 different.

“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.”
