Jonnie Irwin is not yet ready to disclose to his three young children his terminal cancer diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The former A Place In The Sun presenter, 49, shared last year how he is unsure how long he has left to live, after being diagnosed with lung cancer in August 2020, which has since spread to his brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking alongside his wife Jessica Holmes, Jonnie explained in November how he is trying to stay positive as he lives with cancer and shared how he has set \u2018little markers\u2019 \u2013 things he wants to be around for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The TV star and Jessica, 40, tied the knot in September 2016 and have since gone on to welcome three children into the world together \u2013 Rex, three, and two-year-old twins Rafa and Cormac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking in a new interview, Jonnie confessed telling his three sons about his terminal diagnosis would \u2018confuse\u2019 them and hasn\u2019t yet shared the heartbreaking news with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI keep being asked, \u2018Are you going to tell them?\u2019 but tell them what?\u201d Jonnie told HELLO! magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt would be horrible news that they\u2019d have to get their heads around. And it would confuse the hell out of Rex \u2013 he\u2019s got a shocking enough day coming. Let\u2019s bury our heads in the sand for as long as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Misbhah latif) Jonnie Irwin is not yet ready to disclose to his three young children his terminal cancer…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":21472,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_appearance_grid":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[57,76,71],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-21471","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"category-important-news","9":"category-latest-news","10":"cs-entry","11":"cs-video-wrap"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21471","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21471"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21471\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21473,"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21471\/revisions\/21473"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/21472"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21471"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21471"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
