Jonnie Irwin claims A Place In The Sun axed him due to cancer diagnosis saying it ‘broke his heart’

Jonnie Irwin has accused Channel 4 bosses of deciding to axe him from A Place In The Sun after he informed them of his terminal cancer diagnosis. The presenter confirmed the news publicly earlier in November.

The 49-year-old, who has been told he only has six months left to live, has alleged he was paid off after telling them mid-season. He believes it motivated Channel 4’s decision to not renew his contract on the lifestyle television series.
