Cancer-stricken Jonnie Irwin enjoyed sweet bike ride with his three children as he revealed that he is "feeling a lot weaker", amid his terminal illness.
The 49 year old former A Place In The Sun presenter is battling terminal cancer, after being diagnosed in 2020 with it in his lungs, before it spread to his brain.
He's been spending quality time with his wife, Jessica, and their three children, three year old Rex and two year old twins Rafa and Cormac – recently going out on a bike ride with his little ones.
Jonnie posted a snap to Instagram as he sat atop a bike, whilst his three sons sat in a cart, looking thrilled as their doting father cycled them around.
The TV personality rocked a bomber jacket, baggy trousers and a white helmet as he relished the day out with his children.
Captioning the post: "Since delivery of our @babboe_cargobike it’s been out most days. I’m obviously a lot weaker these days and would never be strong enough to cart these ankle biters around but with electric power assistance I can pretty much go anywhere.
"The boys love it and it’s made the nursery run fun ( if I’m up in time) it’s probably cut our car use by about 50% so obviously much greener so hopefully making up for some of the naughty motors in my past. #gamechanger".
Jonnie has been open about his devastating cancer battle, often giving his Instagram followers updates.
He recently revealed that he has bought his sons presents for when they turn 18, as a way for them to remember him.
Speaking to HELLO! Magazine, Jonnie said: "It pains me to think the twins probably won't remember me. You hear people say: 'I don't remember my dad. He died when I was so young'.
"I think about that and it breaks my heart because that's what I'm destined to be, really – a footnote in their life." As a result, Jonnie has said that he tries to "monument" his love for them.
This includes buying a house outright in Jessica's hometown of Newcastle, so that his family won't have to worry about paying the mortgage.
Jonnie was initially given just six months to live when first diagnosed with stage four lung cancer in 2020, but he has outlived doctor’s predictions with the help of medication, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
He has spent time in a hospice to receive treatment for his terminal illness, and he's admitted that he needs to 'remove himself from the family home' when his suffering becomes too much.
