Jonnie celebrates his last Father's Day as his sons are unaware of his terminal cancer.

Jonnie Irwin kept a smile on his face as he celebrated his 'best ever' Father's Day with his young sons, despite revealing it could be his last.
The A Place In The Sun presenter, 49, was diagnosed with terminal cancer in November 2020, which spread from his lung to his brain. Despite his diagnosis, Jonnie has remained hopeful, sharing his experiences with the public.

Taking to social media on Sunday, the TV star shared a happy post in celebration of Father's Day. The post included pictures of arts and crafts with his sons before some cricket action. Jonnie wrote, "Had The best Father’s Day ever. Breakfast of Chocolate Guinness cake baked expertly my brilliant wife then cards from the boys and visit from my brother in law for a brief pillion ride back in time to enjoy some of the highs and lows of the Ashes ending in more cake with more family washed down by a drop of champers”.

Jonnie hasn't told his three children - Rex, four, and two-year-old twins Rafa and Cormac – about his illness. The comments section of the post was filled with love and praise for Jonnie being 'brave'.

Jonnie has also revealed the heartbreaking conversations he's had with his eldest son Rex about the future. He said "I’ve started to tell Rex in private conversations, “You can do anything”. He’s bright, he’s talented, and comes home from nursery knowing more French than I do".

The TV star has also said that he doesn't want to 'confuse' his children by revealing his diagnosis. He said "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.”

Jonnie's post and the support from his followers was a touching reminder of the importance of family and the power of hope.
