Jonnie Irwin was a picture of positivity this past weekend as he travelled to Old Trafford to watch day two of the fourth test between England and Australia.
The series has ended in disappointment for England fans as rain meant the fourth test ended in a draw and a subsequent retainment of the Ashes for Australia, but it didn't stop Irwin from having a "delightful day" soaking in the action.
Taking to Instagram, Irwin shared a snap of himself enjoying the match as well as a handful of clip from his day out.
He captioned the post :"I can’t thank @emiratesot enough for a delightful day at the test, especially Debbie who made everything happen.
"The hospitality and seats were excellent," the A Place in the Sun star continued.
"A great days Cricket (if you’re an England fan. Now on the rattler back to The Toon. I’ll sleep well tonight…)"
Irwin stopped for a snap during the day as he donned a buttoned-up shirt and striped scarf alongside a pal.

The Escape to the Country star has spoken candidly about his diagnosis and how it's impacted his life with wife Jess and his three young children.
In fact, Irwin claimed some doctors told him they didn't expect him to see 2023.
He was first diagnosed with lung cancer in 2020 and during a recent appearance at the TRIC Awards, he admitted he "takes every day as it comes".
Irwin continues to defy expectations and has been sharing regular updates from his home as he renovates his Newcastle-based house.
Just last week, Irwin admitted he was "really happy" to have converted an "unused" and "cold" room in his house into a stunning and welcoming spot to relax.
