Jonnie Irwin claims A Place In The Sun bosses axed him when he told them he was dying

A Place In The Sun presenter Jonnie Irwin has claimed that bosses of the show axed him after he told them he had terminal cancer.
The 49-year-old has said that his contract wasn't renewed and he was "paid off" when he was diagnosed in the middle of the series - with show bosses saying they couldn't get the proper insurance. The father-of-three has said he was completely devastated by the loss of his job.
Earlier this month, Jonnie revealed that in 2020, he had been given just six months left to live after his lung cancer had spread to his brain. He first noticed something wasn't right when he was filming A Place In The Sun in August 2020 in Italy when his vision became blurry while he was driving. His wife urged him to go to the doctor and one week from filming in Italy, he was given the terminal diagnosis.
Speaking to The Sun, Jonnie claimed that after he revealed his diagnosis to bosses, he was axed from the show.
Breaking down in tears, he said: "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.”
Jonnie continued to work through his chemotherapy treatment and filmed BBC's Escape To The Country while working on other projects.
He revealed that he kept his cancer secret because he was worried about losing anymore work and he needed to keep a roof over the heads of his children - three-year-old son Rex and two-year-old twins Cormac and Rafa - and wife Jessica.
