Jonnie Irwin said he has received an abundance of support since revealing he lost his role on A Place In The Sun due to his cancer diagnosis.
The presenter, 49, claimed his contract on the show wasn't renewed after he told producers about his terminal illness.
He was given just six months to live in 2020 after being diagnosed with stage four lung cancer, which spread to his brain.
Earlier this month, he opened up on his sad news and candidly admitted that A Place In The Sun's decision to axe him left him brokenhearted.
However, he now says he's received a huge boost thanks to all the positive messages he has received since.
Speaking to The Sun, Jonnie revealed he has received messages of support from all over the globe and promises he will try to read them all.
Discussing the type of messages he has received, he said: "They range from practical, scientific advice to ones from very religious people. There are thousands and thousands of them on my social media platforms and it's been great.
"I've not hidden away but I'm not bothered about the limelight. I had no idea how much people really liked what I did and I know that now."
Earlier in the week, Jonnie claimed: "As soon as people find out you’ve got cancer they write you off. Yes, I have stage four and it’s terminal — but not yet, so let me live my life while I can.
"As soon as I told A Place In The Sun about my diagnosis they paid me for the rest of the season but didn’t renew my contract. They knew I wanted to carry on.
"That hurt. That broke my heart. I feel hugely let down. I can’t even watch the show now."
However, bosses claimed they left "no stone unturned" in a bid to keep him as host.
In a statement, a spokesperson for Freeform Productions said: "Jonnie has been a hugely important part of the A Place in The Sun family for over 18 years and all of us were deeply saddened by his diagnosis.
"Much loved by everyone on the production, no stone was left unturned in trying to enable Jonnie to continue his international filming with us during Covid but the production company were unable to secure adequate insurance cover for him."
They added: "Whilst we were unable to continue to film abroad with him, we're delighted that he was able to remain as part of our team in the UK for exhibitions."
