Jonnie Irwin inundated with support as cancer-stricken star not feeling great

Jonnie Irwin talking about his experience of palliative care

A Place in the Sun’s Jonnie Irwin issued an update for fans as he headed to North Yorkshire for a spot of antiques shopping – and, as he confessed how unwell he’d been feeling, concerned fans warned him not to overdo it.

The 49-year-old Channel 4 star sadly confided: “I’ve not been feeling great these past couple of days.”

Protecting his eyes with dark sunglasses as he sped along in the passenger seat of a car, he continued: “‘My brother-in-law Freddie is taking us to an architectural salvage fair at Ripon down in North Yorkshire, so I’ll be posting some pictures of things that we like.”

Jonnie, who first went public with his cancer diagnosis in 2022, after keeping it under wraps for two years, had detailed how exhausted he’d been feeling lately, but seemed upbeat about the prospect of a road trip.

He captioned his video footage: “Bit of interiors/ salvage hunting in @ripley_castle_estate.”

Later this afternoon, he stuck to his word and posted a carousel of photos of the quirky artwork and antiques he’d found on sale there.

“Good couple of hours spent walking around and even bumped into a mate who was filming with @drewpritchardantiques who was a pleasure to meet,” he shared.

“Which of these is in the van on the way home do you think?” he quizzed mischievously, inviting fans to guess what he hadn’t been able to resist.

“I’ll give you a clue – bought one and now wish I’d bought the other thing,” Jonnie concluded, adding the hashtag “#brutalism”.

Despite the property expert admitting he’d been flagging a little, he was inundated with gentle support from some of his 214,000 followers, who praised the star on his appearance.

“You’re looking pretty slick with those sunglasses on!” @instagraeme03 encouraged.

@waynelloyd34 chimed in: “You’re looking well. Keep positive.”

However, @leechydids65 cautioned him: “Listen to your body Jonnie have a lovely time but don’t over do it,” before signing off with two kisses.

Meanwhile, Jonnie previously shared a photo of his eldest son Rex in his school uniform as he prepared for his first day at primary, and declared he’s “so proud of him I could burst”.

Rex is the eldest of the three kids he shares with wife Jessica, who also gave birth to his younger twin sons Rafa and Cormac back in 2020.

Looking at little Rex on the lawn, @susanproud exclaimed: “He is your double, Jonnie! Beautiful.”

@stuart.j.kane chimed in: “He looks ace mate. So cute, a very special day for you all,” while @faffinggranny added: “Jonnie, you and your little family melt my heart.”
