onnie Irwin is open about his hopes of spending some quality time with his family at a music festival this summer as he continues to battle terminal cancer.
The former A Place In The Sun presenter, 49, raised concerns about his health last month after revealing that he celebrated his 50th birthday early despite not reaching milestone age until November.
