A Place in the Sun presenter Jonnie Irwin has been spending some quality time with his family on the coast amid his terminal cancer battle.

The 49-year-old spent a few days in Beadnell, Northumberland, with his wife Jessica Holmes and their sons Rex, four, and two-year-old twins Rafa and Cormac.

Last November, the 49-year-old announced that his cancer was terminal, having spread to his brain after his initial lung cancer diagnosis in April 2020.

In June this year, Jonnie shared that he hadn’t told his kids about his health after being given months to live, as he felt doing so might ‘confuse’ them.

In his latest update, Jonnie shared pictures of himself enjoying an ice cream, his children playing in the sand and his wife and son paddle boarding as they made the most of the August weather.

He captioned the Instagram post: ‘Just grabbed a few days up the coast. Rain or shine Beadnell always impresses. #bayistheway.’

Jonnie’s followers flooded the comment with messages of how beautiful his family is and wishing them a good trip.

‘Looking fabulous guys! 😍❤️,’ one social media used remarked, while another commented: ‘Thank you for sharing Jonnie …. Your boys are so much fun …. So so cute x x x.’

A third added: ‘It’s the best coastline there is. So lovely to see you all enjoying it x.’

Despite previously being told that he may only have months to live, and recently sharing he felt ‘a lot weaker’, Jonnie has been living life to the full, undergoing a home renovation and making the most of time left with his young family.

He most recently went on a road trip with Jessica and his sons but joked that it wasn’t a peaceful ride.

Jonnie wrote on Instagram: ‘5 hours on and off in car with the boys. Each one with a tablet/screen without headphones! Acoustic hell! #roadtrip’.

Since making his diagnosis public, the Channel 4 star has kept fans updated along the way, been praised by experts and charities for talking about his diagnosis and palliative care, and has been inundated with support.
