The A Place in the Sun star has shown off a snap of his ankle following the accident

Jonnie Irwin has taken to Instagram to reveal he suffered a rather painful incident at his Newcastle home recently.

The A Place in the Sun and Escape to the Country star shared a snap of an ice pack wrapped around his ankle as he shed light on the accident.


In the caption, Irwin told his 186k followers: "When you forget the builder has removed your door step…"

With fans seeing the extent of his ankle injury, many were quick to wish Irwin well.

Replying to the snap of Irwin's injury, one fan replied: "Ouch! Hope your ankle feels better soon."

While a second voiced their concern: "Oh love please take care of yourself xxxxxxx."

"Oh dear. Hope you're ok x," added a fourth while another weighed in: "Ooh careful. Hope it doesn't hurt too much." (sic)

Irwin's accident comes as the star continues to renovate his home in Newcastle following his cancer diagnosis.

The presenter was diagnosed in 2020 but spoke publicly about the illness for the first time in November 2022 when the disease had spread from his lung to his brain.

As he spends more time at home with wife Jess and their three young children, Irwin has been hard at work transforming some of his house's depleted features.

Irwin has also been garnering plenty of support for his candor when it comes to using palliative care as well as staying on his feet to remain active with his sons.

In another of his latest updates, Irwin even ticked off a major milestone when it came to eldest son Rex, four.

Irwin was able to join his son for a bike ride to nursery for the final time before he moves on to primary school.

"Suitably waved off by Rafa and his spade and Rex with his game face on!"
