Jonnie Irwin is taking on a major new project and has invited fans along to watch the process.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Jonnie, a father to three young kids, is currently going through a devastating terminal cancer diagnosis, saying last year that he could \u2018have months to live,\u2019 and has been offered love and support from fans ever since.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Taking to the site, he shared a video of a crew working on the front of a nondescript two-storey house, revealing it was taken on day one of renovating the front of the building.<\/p>\n
Describing it as \u2018not the prettiest of houses,\u2019 Jonnie shared his vision of putting in differently-designed windows, ripping own the porch, and moving the doorway to the centre of the house.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\u2018Doing so brings in a big room in the middle of the house. That makes it an entrance hall which is better to live in,\u2019 the property expert explained.<\/p>\n
He said it was \u2018early days but pretty exciting.\u2019<\/p>\n
Alongside the video, Jonnie shared in the caption that he was \u2018a couple of days late posting this but I promised to be honest with my posts about this renovation- warts n all.\u2019<\/p>\n
The TV star was praised by stunned fans and followers for his \u2018passion\u2019 in taking on the massive project, with one saying his \u2018ideas sound great\u2026will look amazing.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s going to be fabulous Jonnie, can\u2019t wait to see the finished result,\u2019 another said,\u2019 while one declared: \u2018Property is what you do best apart from being super dad of course.\u2019<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
And one fan wrote kindly: \u2018You 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.\u2019<\/p>\n
The former A Place In The Sun presenter announced in November 2022 that\u00a0he could have months to live after being\u00a0diagnosed with terminal cancer, with the disease having spread from his lungs to his brain.<\/p>\n
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\u00a0he shares with his wife Jessica Holmes, on the tot\u2019s final day of nursery school<\/p>\n
\u2018Last EVER ride to nursery with Rex. Suitably waved off by Rafa and his spade and Rex with his game face on!\u2019 the doting dad shared on social media.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
