Jonnie Irwin sends Christmas message alongside his family

A Place In The Sun's Jonnie Irwin shared a Christmas message to his followers alongside several shots of his family.

The dad-of-three got into the festive spirit as he ventured out to take his youngest child, Rex, to see Santa Claus. His wife, Jessica, was also along for the family trip as they posed for several shots with Father Christmas with the youngster beaming ear to ear.

The caption said: "Ok, I’ve given in, Christmas is here! Nothing to do with the mince pies and mulled wine on offer at all! Merry Christmas! X"

The family were decked out in their best winter wear including Rex in a grey Christmas tree sweater and Jonnie sporting his familiar farmer's cap. It is unclear where they met Santa but the photos show the happy family in a log cabin with warm drinks in hand and a snowy exterior somewhere high above the city.

The presenter's comment section lit up with compliments and festive messages wishing him and his family the best of times over the Christmas holidays. One fan said: "Beautiful family. Sending you love and strength! Merry Christmas." Another added: "Merry Christmas to a beautiful family."

Jonnie was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer, publicly sharing the news last month. The 49-year-old said the first warning sign of his illness came while he was filming A Place In The Sun in August 2020 but hopes to encourage others to "make the most of every day."
