Jonnie Irwin gets ready for extra special Father's Day | HELLO!

[@frankiewise7952]

I'm not one for public expressions of emotion but OMG, what a bloke. Those words are for everyone, not only his kids. Wise and will withstand the test of time. Hugs to him and family.

[@nehaht]

Jonnie, you are leaving a great legacy for your children. Not only will they appreciate you as their father, but this will also instill in them your fighting spirit. God bless!

[@juiorchevsxx]

What a beautiful piece of film - his boys will cherish this. So so special ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@elizabethsummerill6339]

Anyone who is facing a life limiting illness and is facing leaving those they love the most behind will understand how Jonnie is feeling. My wonderful husband died in January, all of his fears were about us, his family and not himself. Jonnie you are brave and strong, my heart goes out to you and your family, my family has faced what is to come for yours. Love never dies x

The love he has for his boys and his wife is amazing and trying to make so many memories while he can shows what a wonderful husband and father he is. He is so loving, my heart breaks for him and his family. He does so much with his family even though I'm sure he is weak and in pain. God Bless you and your family.

[@laurieclements8596]

Jonnie, I always enjoy when you are the presenter on ETTC. Your frank, open and fun attitude puts people at ease. The messages you are leaving your boys will be so powerful and inspiring for them as they grow up. Thank you for being real and being vulnerable. I wish you peace, and all the joy you can find with Jess and your beautiful boys. What a wonderful role model you are, not just for them, but for all of us who feel like we already know you and feel for you right now. Much gratitude along with a few tears tonight. 🙏💗🌼

As a guy who’s been watching “A place in the sun” for years,(it’s our go to comfort television) both me and my partner are so sad after seeing this. Cancer is such a cruel disease and your family are so strong but it’s so heartbreaking. God bless you

So damn sad seeing the way cancer is taking it's toll on Johnnie. Much love to all of you ❤️

[@katbar6066]

Yes even in the last couple of months since we saw him interviewed he has gone down hill.

[@JenShea]

Dear Jonnie, my heart hurts for you, and your family. I so admire you for continuing be present and fighting so hard. Your boys will need all these videos while they grow up. I do hope you’ve been able create some videos for them, for when they are older and need your unique advice… reminders on being kind, chats about puberty & the teenage years. Making their way in the world… career advice (from your perspective), ‘partners’, dating, marriage, parenthood… etc. Sending love to you and your beautiful family.

[@jeanniecampbell1374]

I honestly can't understand why people who only have evil in them seem to live to a ripe old age when lovely people like Johnny that have everything to give in this world pass away young it doesn't make sense to me at all 😢

[@Maisie1969]

It really is true. The saying the good die young is true. We're seeing it even more.

It happens because the world is not fair, unfortunately.

Gods ways are not our ways. It’s hard to comprehend, and can’t be understood with our finite minds. Sadly.

[@davewelch9089]

Dearest Jessie ..... my wife and I are totally shocked to hear about dear Johnny, and we share your sadness. What a lovely man ..... loved by so many people who like us had never met him and I always thought how exciting and lovely it would be to meet this dear man. What a kindhearted person and he had the greatest sense of humor ..... his memory will always be cherished by Lyn and me. Our love to you and your lovely children. Dave and Lyn ..... from Down Under.

[@janewicks9740]

Bless you Jonnie, what a lovely family and wonderful parents. You are my favourite presenter on Escape and have brightened up our lives. Love and my thoughts are with you all ❤

[@susannortham11.11]

Jonnie, what a beautiful legacy you're leaving them. They will know how much they are loved and they'll be so proud of their father. They have your body of work to show them time and time again what a wonderful person you are. I can't believe you were wearing a Detroit Tigers baseball cap! I'm originally from Michigan. Go Tigers! I remember when you played baseball for the first time on ETTC, what a treat. You were actually quite good!!! May God bless you, your beautiful, strong wife and amazing children always. Have the best Father's Day ever❣🙏

[@joannaschickhoff9487]

Jonnie What a beautiful, caring individual you are, so brave and mentally strong. Such a loving tribute. God bless you all during this horrendously tough time. You are so loved by soooooooo many people x

[@stelladavies2262]

Johnnie you have given your boys the best start in life and should be so proud of what you have done for them. Do not worry, they will love you and remember you forever. You will always be with them. They will sit around and talk about their amazing dad and their mum will remind them of all the lovely things about your life together. You will not be forgotten and will be loved, the memories will then be passed on to their children and so the circle of life goes on. Love to you and your gorgeous family. Enjoy this time together and be peaceful with your thoughts of them. You’ll never be forgotten xx

[@audreybutcher7918]

Oh my Lordy… I could feel Jonnie’s love for his boys oozing out of his big heart. I know exactly what he’s feeling and sometimes you can’t find enough words to express it. Jonnie, just the fact that your 3 sons have you and Jess as their parents and how you express your love for them will assure their future. You are a truly beautiful person and my thoughts and love are with you through this horrendous time. Know that you have given every ounce of yourself to those boys and it s a blanket that they will have wrapped around them for all their lives. 🙏❤

[@maries8207]

What a fantastic Daddy & Mummy the boys have, it also breaks my heart watching this. Your boys are a credit to you Johnny, sending all my love to you all ❤❤❤❤❤xxxxx

Jonnie, celebrity doesn’t mean anything when life takes a turn like this only family and loved ones and I’m so glad that you are showing your family and the world this. Money, fame and success is no match for love, happiness and time. I wish you all three, thank you for being you, for being here and I shall miss you, I’m so sorry that people like me get to see my children grow up and you won’t. Life just isn’t fair.

I also have twin boys and I feel exactly the same way - refuse to refer to them as the "twins." Never once have and they're almost 18 now. Once, when they were babies, someone said to me, "Wow, it's like they're two completely different people." I answered, "That's because they ARE two different people!" LOL

What an amazing man it can't have been easy to talk about himself not being here with his family in the future and not see the boys grow up into adults, however the boys are so lucky to be able to look back at this video in years to come and see how much he loved them and how much they all meant to him. I'm sorry that they take the good ones and that the boys will have such a short time with their father, but one thing is for sure they will not forget you and you have given them a wonderful start in life, you should be very proud of that ❤

So warm and, yes, polite, which is important to me too, and so underrated these days. You always seemed such a genuine person. You were a joy to watch, and remain so. In my head, you won’t change; you’ll always been that vibrant, energetic personality. Life can be very cruel, and I wish we could all see you recover!

When he said he had been through a tough life but the chain was broken it really pulled at the heartstrings. He has never used that as an excuse. He had a successful career and a happy family life with his beautiful wife and 3 gorgeous boys. Every day you see idiots in court getting away with terrible things all because "I had a tough life Your Honour" as if that is a badge of honour or excuse and yet this man said to himself "No it stops with me". He chose to live a better life and his kids will do him proud too.

Since I am also a cancer patient,I can say from experience that cancer is no worse than other chronic diseases,such as from diabetes or heart disease!The most important thing is to eliminate all foods containing sugar,including fruit&vegetables, from their diet!!When sugar enters the body,the cancer cells become excited,&depending on the amount of sugar taken in,the drastic spread of cancer cells increases or decreases!Everyone should understand this&eat accordingly!
