 Jonnie Irwin has marked an emotional final milestone with his young son, amid his terminal cancer diagnosis. The A Place In The Sun star was initially diagnosed with lung cancer in August 2020, before revealing in November last year that the tumour had spread to his brain. Despite previously being told that he may only have months to live, and recently sharing that he feels 'a lot weaker', the 49-year-old is being living his life to the full, both in his work and precious family time. On Monday, he shared a poignant 'last ever' as he took his four-year-old son Rex to nursery for the day. He also shares two-year-old twins Rafa and Cormac with his wife, Jessica Holmes. 'Last EVER ride to nursery with Rex. Suitably waved off by Rafa and his spade and Rex with his game face on!' the doting dad captioned his post. Jonnie shared a trio of photos from the moment to mark the occasion, which showed Rex on his little bike, kitted out in a cool Batman helmet and cycling gloves, with his dad behind him on his, as they posed for a picture in the driveway. Rafa was also involved, holding his yellow spade in the foreground. The TV star then shared another picture of Rex mid-ride on the way to nursery, as well as a selfie of them both during a pause on their journey, with Jonnie in a blue neck scarf, dark green jacket and baseball cap. As always, his fans heaped praise on Jonnie for his positivity in the face of adversity. The dad-of-three cycled with Rex to drop him off at nursey for the last time (Picture: Instagram/jonnieirwintv) He shared plenty of pictures on social media as he continued to enjoy family time (Picture: Instagram/jonnieirwintv) 'Jonnie you are truly inspiring,' posted one, while someone else added: 'Johnny [sic], you're a credit and an inspiration.' 'Lovely photos Jonnie. Your boys will remember these moments forever. Sending love and best wishes){kind=link}
