Emotional: The TV host has remained positive and cheerful throughout his journey, regularly sharing updates with fans on social media

The television personality is bravely battling the terminal illness after being diagnosed with lung cancer in 2020, which has since spread to his brain.

Jonnie appeared on BBC Morning Live earlier this month to give fans a health update and talk about the importance of palliative care.

Jonnie previously admitted that the pain can get so bad that he seeks solace in hospice care, unwilling to let his family watch him suffer.

Talking to Hello! magazine, he explained, “I remove myself a number of times because I’m not good around when I’m in pain.

“I’m like a bear with a sore head and I don’t want them around.”

Family: The father-of-three, who shares Rex, three, and twins Rafa and Cormac, two with his wife Jessica Holmes, has opted not to tell their boys about Jonnie’s illness

Discussing his death, the father-of-three added, “It could happen at any time. I’m here to stop it as long as possible.’

The presenter also discussed his decision to keep the fight against cancer a secret from his children.

“I keep getting asked, ‘Are you going to tell them?’ but tell them what? It would be terrible news for them to keep their wits about them,” he said.

“And it would confuse Rex—he’s got a shocking day ahead of him. Let’s stick our heads in the sand as long as possible.’
