"Within a week of flying back from filming, I was being given six months to live. I had to go home and tell my wife, who was looking after our babies, that she was on her own pretty much. That was pretty. That was devastating. All I could do was apologise to her. I felt so responsible," Jonnie revealed to the Sun.

Additionally, Jonnie is the devoted father of three kids, Rex, Rafa, and Cormac shared with his wife, Jessica. "It's got to the point now where it feels like I'm carrying a dirty secret; it becomes a monkey on my back," he continued.

"I hope that shaking that monkey off, I might inspire people who are clinging with life-limiting prospects to make the most of every day, to help them see that you can live a positive life, even though you are dying," Jonnie added, who have life-limiting prospects.

"Jonnie. I get so much joy watching you & your boys on here. You're one helluva Flippin amazeballs presenter, and I'm sending so much love & strength," former Homes Under The Hammer wrote and thanked him for sharing his news.
