A Place in the Sun's Jonnie Irwin issues update on cancer battle

A Place in the Sun's Jonnie Irwin has issued an update on his health after announcing at the end of last year he had been diagnosed with lung cancer.

The popular Channel 4 presenter has taken to Instagram to inform 155,000 followers and fans that he is receiving Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. The treatment involves a hyperbaric chamber which is highly pressurised, giving patients pure oxygen to breathe.

Jonnie, 49, shared an image of the zip up portable chamber he was using after walking to the treatment centre in Newcastle.

He captioned the snap: "And at the end of this walk…is this…hyperbaric oxygen therapy."

The dad-of-three has been very open about his health since he went public with his terminal cancer diagnosis in November 2022.

In a recent interview on BBC's Morning Live, Jonnie revealed that he is getting his financial ducks in a row so he can secure the futures of his sons three year-old Rex and two year-old twins Rafa and Cormac.

Speaking to presenter Gethin Jones on Thursday, he said: "My experience will hopefully help people with a life-threatening disease and people who are dealing with these people. When you get diagnosed with something so serious, all control is taken away.

"I wanted to take control back, so I did the usual weird diets and I also knew I had to look after my family. The moment you have family, your have this massive responsibility to look after them."
