The Place in the Sun presenter received a gift to mark a special day
Jonnie Irwin shared some family photos to mark Father's Day as he continues his cancer battle which is kept a secret from his sons.
The television star revealed he was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in 2020 which has since spread to his brain.
Recently he took to Instagram with adorable family photos of his Father’s Day, and said it was the "best ever" with Guinness cake, cricket, and loved ones.
However, his children – Rex, four, and two-year-old twins Rafa and Cormac – remain unaware of his diagnosis.

Irwin posted a picture of a Father’s Day present he received from Time Out Space furniture.
It appeared that the huge outdoor table and chairs were put to good use with several sunny days.
Other pictures show the dad eating his Guinness cake as the children enjoyed playing in the garden.
He captioned the pictures with: "Super grateful to @time_out_space for my Fathers Day present.
"Weather permitting we’re using this dining set for all of our meals and can at last have a proper grownup garden party!"
Fans flooded the comment section with kind messages, as one person wrote: "This is so wonderful. Have the most wonderful time with your beautiful family."
Another said: "Enjoy Jonnie. You deserve all these special moments. Sending love and best wishes."

The presenter only went public with his illness in November 2022 because he “needed money” and therefore had to keep working while undergoing treatment.
Irwin had taken out life insurance which means his family will be taken care of after he passes away but said that he made a big mistake in taking the policy out.
"I didn't take critical illness insurance out and therefore I had to keep working, without work, I've got no means of paying the bills," Irwin previously told the OneChat podcast.
"And if I had taken the critical illness insurance out, that could've covered my outgoings and I probably could've told the world [about his condition] a lot sooner."
