Jonnie Irwin has been greeted by a host of supportive comments after he issued a 'grateful' update on social media this week.
The 49-year-old was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer back in August 2020, and given just six months to live after the disease had spread to his brain.
Almost three years on, and Jonnie is still making memories with his wife Jess, and three sons, Rex, Rafa and Cormac at their home in Newcastle. He has also been quite active on social media, sharing beautiful family snaps while updating followers on his cancer battle.
On Thursday this week, Jonnie took to his Instagram account once more to share snaps of himself and his family making the most of the sunshine in their garden, with Jonnie tucking into a yummy looking piece of cake and refreshing cuppa at one point.

The Daily Star reports that captioning the photo carousel, he wrote: "Super grateful to @time_out_space for my Father's Day present. Weather permitting we’re using this dining set for all of our meals and can at last have a proper grownup garden party!"
And the post was quickly seen by Jonnie's fans, wishing him and his family well. One wrote: “This is so wonderful. Have the most wonderful time with your beautiful family," while another added: "Enjoy every minute with your lovely little family."
A third fan went on: "You look great Jonnie that table and furniture is amazing!! Love it and your family your all stars!!!!" while a fourth penned: "It all looked so lovely. I hope you had the best day ever."
It comes after Jonnie recently opened up on a big regret with regards to his terminal cancer battle, citing how he wishes others learn from his 'mistake'. Speaking on AIG's OneChat podcast, he said that he wanted to leave a 'positive footprint' in the world while talking about the things he wished he had done differently.
He said: "I want people to learn from my mistake," adding: "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.
"And if I had taken the critical illness insurance out, that could’ve covered my outgoings and I probably could have come out and told the world a lot sooner.
"I could have had two years of living a more open lifestyle," he continued.
