Jonnie Irwin news: Star believes he’s still here for a ‘mixture of reasons’

Jonnie’s update comes not long after he speculated on why he’s still here following his terminal cancer diagnosis.

Speaking on the Conversations with Jane McLelland podcast, he said: “One of the reasons I think I’m still here is I’m not a cancer patient. It’s always there at the back of your mind, but I’m living with cancer, not dying with cancer.

“Every time I talk about how strong I feel, I end up in hospital the next day, so I’m not going to curse it.”

“If I just listened to the prognosis I was preliminarily given, I’d be curled up in a ball and crying myself to death. But I feel much more empowered and much more educated that there is a sphere of help, and help from the NHS is a massive part of that sphere,” he then added.
