He explained:"I'm weak now, fragile and my memory is terrible… but I'm still here. I tried to play football with Rex the other day and was on goal and I couldn't get near the ball. It was so frustrating. I'm very sporty and suddenly it's just like…it was as if it was the first time I'd attempted football. I felt like a granddad. And that broke me a bit." Jonnie recently celebrated his 50th birthday, which is in November, at a party with friends.
"But now I want to make plans. I want to make memories and capture these moments with my family because the reality is, my boys are going to grow up not knowing their dad and that breaks my heart."SEE: 8 adorable photos of Jonnie Irwin's sons Jonnie was in Italy in August 2020, filming for A Place in the Sun, when he got the first warning sign that something was wrong when his vision went blurry while driving.
