Jonnie Irwin has taken advantage of every chance to pursue his passions.

The A Place in the Sun host, 49, attended a cricket match this week and received VIP treatment.

It comes as Jonnie makes the most of his time with loved ones after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.

The property guru, who has three young boys with wife Jess, disclosed towards the end of 2022 that cancer had spread to his brain and that doctors did not expect him to live until 2023.

Jonnie praised Emirates Old Trafford for their hospitality in a series of photos he shared from his adventurous excursion on Friday (July 21).

‘I can’t thank @emiratesot enough for a delightful day at the test, especially Debbie who made everything happen’, he wrote.

‘The hospitality and seats were excellent. A great days Cricket if you’re an England fan.’

‘Now on the rattler back to The Toon’, he added, as Jonnie lives in Newcastle.

‘I’ll sleep well tonight…’, joked the sports fan.

The images he posted showed a genuinely magnificent perspective of the pitch, as well as the ability to see the commentators in action from his box.

Jonnie smiled as he wrapped his arm around a friend.

‘Keep doing your thing what a warrior and inspiration to many’, one fan commented.

‘Aww Jonnie do what makes you happy 👏👏’, another said.

‘A great day to be there. Looked like a fantastic atmosphere. Good that you enjoyed it Jonnie 😊’, another echoed.

Jonnie’s update comes after he openly discussed his ‘uncomfortable’ restrictions.

The adoring father, who has Rex, four, and twins Rafa and Cormac, two, added that if he were to fly overseas this summer, it would have to be somewhere near to home.

‘I really would like to go on holiday – every week I feel a little bit stronger,’ he explained to The Sun.

‘I don’t think I would be able to go long haul, I wouldn’t feel comfortable but if I could go somewhere in Spain, Portugal or Italy – that would be great,’ the presenter added.

He also told the outlet: ‘I get more tired, my appetite has been affected but I’m just trying to do as much as possible all the time really.’

Jonnie’s three sons are uninformed about his disease because he does not want to ‘confuse’ them by having the uncomfortable talk.

‘I keep being asked, “Are you going to tell them?” but tell them what?’, he recently said.

‘It would be horrible news that they’d have to get their heads around. And it would confuse the hell out of Rex – he’s got a shocking enough day coming.

‘Let’s bury our heads in the sand for as long as possible.’
