Jonnie Irwin shares ‘fresh faced’ snap amid terminal cancer treatment

On Boxing Day, property guru Jonnie Irwin moved his fans with a festive update, continuing to defy the odds after his terminal cancer diagnosis.

Last year, the 50-year-old revealed he was uncertain about his remaining time following a lung cancer diagnosis in August 2020, which later spread to his brain.

In a conversation with his wife Jessica Holmes, Jonnie shared that he was striving to maintain a positive outlook, setting 'little markers' for things he wishes to be present for.

Jonnie and Jessica, 40, got married in September 2016, and are parents to Rex, three, and two-year-old twins Rafa and Cormac. 

Taking to Instagram on Boxing Day, Jonnie - who is currently receiving palliative care - shared a snap of himself enjoying a pint of Guinness in a local pub. 

The dad-of-three captioned the shot: "It’s been a while since I waited outside for the pub to open but freshly lit fires and a pint were a welcome distraction on the short walk to Christmas lunch. Hope you all had lovely days and enjoying Boxing Day as it should be. #christmas #christmasdaypint."

"Gosh, you're looking great, fella," one of the star's followers commented underneath Jonnie's latest picture update, with another adding: "Jonnie, you're looking wonderful! I wish you every good thing that you deserve in the weeks, months, year ahead. Cheers!" 

A third penned: "You're looking great !! Cheers to you and hope you have a wonderful New Year."
