Jonnie Irwin is taking on a major new project and has invited fans along to watch the process.

The TV star and father-of-three is a bit of a legend when it comes to property, having made his name on the likes of A Place In The Sun, The Renovation Game and Escape To The Country.

Jonnie, a father to three young kids, is currently going through a devastating terminal cancer diagnosis, saying last year that he could ‘have months to live,’ and has been offered love and support from fans ever since.

He keeps followers updated on his day-to-day life, from his health to his family to everything in between, via Instagram, and this week revealed he was tackling a major renovation.

Taking to the site, he shared a video of a crew working ont he front of a nondescript two-storey house, revealing it was taken on day one of renovating the front of the building.

Describing it as ‘not the prettiest of houses,’ Jonnie shared his vision of putting in differently-designed windows, ripping own the porch and moving the doorway to the centre of the house.

‘Doing so brings in a big room in the middle of the house. That makes it an entrance hall which is better to live in,’ the property expert explained.

He said it was ‘early days but pretty exciting.’

Alongside the video, Jonnie shared in the caption that he was ‘a couple of days late posting this but I promised to be honest with my posts about this renovation- warts n all.’

The TV star was praised by fans and followers for his ‘passion’ in taking on the massive project, with one saying his ‘ideas sound great…will look amazing.’

‘It’s going to be fabulous Jonnie, can’t wait to see the finished result,’ another said,’ while one declared: ‘Property is what you do best apart from being super dad of course.’

And one fan wrote kindly: ‘You are a superstar! Keep going, push on through, get your energy from our love, so many people around the world are sending you love and healing and prayers,’ one wrote.

The former A Place In The Sun presenter announced in November 2022 that he could have months to live after being diagnosed with terminal cancer, with the disease having spread from his lungs to his brain.

In sharing updates on his life both online and in interviews, Jonnie recently marked an emotional final milestone with one of the three young sons he shares with his wife Jessica Holmes, on the tot’s final day of nursery school

‘Last EVER ride to nursery with Rex. Suitably waved off by Rafa and his spade and Rex with his game face on!’ the doting dad shared on social media.

Jonnie shared a trio of photos from the moment to mark the occasion, which showed Rex on his little bike, kitted out in a cool Batman helmet and cycling gloves, with his dad behind him as they posed for a picture in the driveway.
