Upset over Jonnie’s illness
SCARLETTE was devastated to learn fellow A Place in the Sun host Jonnie Irwin has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.
Jonnie told Hello! magazine last week he was given six months to live two years ago.
Scarlette said: “I had heard but I didn’t realise it was terminal, which makes it sound imminent.” She said it was horrifying news as Jonnie, 49, has three young children. He has lung cancer which spread to his brain.
Of her screen test for the show, she said: “He knew everything, you know, you never question Jonnie... he’s an amazing person.”
