Jonnie Irwin shares insight into his family trip to Marrakech after revealing cancer diagnosis

Jonnie Irwin is enjoying a family getaway to Marrakech this week and has kept fans updated on the trip via social media.

The TV presenter, 49, shared a clip of the Moroccan city’s stunning scenery on Thursday, leaning over the man driving him to take the photo, joking: “Let me know when it’s uncomfortable.”

It comes after he revealed he was diagnosed with stage 4 end-stage lung cancer in August 2020 which then spread to his brain.

And A Place In The Sun decided not to renew his presenting contract after the news broke, as they claimed they were unable to secure the correct insurance for him to travel for the show.

Jonnie shared a collection of videos on his Instagram Stories showing the scenery from his car window.

Leaning over the buddy driving it, the presenter said, “Let me know when it gets uncomfortable.”

“About two minutes ago,” the pal said as Jonnie turned the camera to show himself bent over and crushing him.

And the presenter was heartbroken after revealing the diagnosis to his bosses on the A Place In The Sun show – who then kicked him out of the role of host.

Free Form Productions, which makes the programme, said they were “unable to obtain adequate insurance cover” for it to continue international filming amid the Covid-19 crisis and said that they understood his “frustration” with the decision.

A statement published on MailOnline read: ‘Jonnie has been a hugely important part of the A Place In The Sun family for over 18 years and we have all been deeply saddened by his diagnosis.

“Much loved by all on the production, no effort was spared to allow Jonnie to continue his international filming with us during Covid, but the production company were unable to secure him insurance cover. adequate.

“Although we have not been able to continue filming overseas with him, we are delighted that he has been able to remain with our team in the UK for exhibitions.” We of course understand how frustrating that must be for him at this incredibly difficult time.
