Jonnie Irwin appears at A Place in the Sun live show as he battles terminal cancer

Jonnie Irwin made a return to A Place in the Sun with an appearance at a live show amid his cancer battle.

The dad-of-three was given six months to live in 2020 after doctors revealed his lung cancer had spread to his brain. Jonnie, 49, has admitted he "doesn't know how long he has left", but wowed fans when he appeared at A Place in the Sun's live show in Manchester on Sunday.

Taking to Instagram he shared a photo of himself and co-host Jasmine Harman on stage at the property exhibition. Jonnie also posted a picture of his outfit the day before the event, writing: "Selecting wardrobe for @aplaceinthesunofficial LIVE Tomorrow in Manchester.

"It’s an early start and as I’m not fit enough to run for the train atm [at the moment] I’m prepping the night before. My wife can’t quite believe it! Cold weather calls for wool, wool, and more wool."

He continued: "It’s also are rare thing for @jasmineharman and myself to both be there on a Sunday so please coming along and we’ll hopefully see you there."

Fans were delighted to hear Jonnie would be at the show, with one replying: "I watched you today on A Place in the Sun, you are a fabulous presenter. I hope you're feeling well."

Others were pleased to see the star reunited with Jasmine, with one praising the 'dream team' for their presenting skills, reports The Mirror. Another wrote: "Enjoy being back with the team. Have fun doing your job again."

In February, Jonnie told his followers he had begun Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. The treatment involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurised environment.

Jonnie shared an image of the zip-up portable chamber he was using after walking to the treatment centre in Newcastle - captioning the snap: "And at the end of this walk…is this…hyperbaric oxygen therapy." It's thought flooding the body with concentrated oxygen can help make cancer cells easier to kill with treatments like chemotherapy and radiation while also activating the healing process in a patient's body.
