Jonnie Irwin shared a behind the scenes peek at his latest work project on Instagram earlier this week.
And now, the A Place in the Sun star has confirmed he'd wrapped filming on Friday.
Irwin has been lending his presenting talents to home improvement company Mayfair Worktops.
The presenter has served as a brand ambassador to the company for a number of years, fronting plenty of their video content online in the past.
However, after being diagnosed with terminal cancer back in 2020, Irwin proved he's not letting the disease stop him doing what he loves.
In his latest update, Irwin reposted an Instagram Story from the company which showed him on the last day on set.

"When it's a wrap on a Friday @jonnieirwintv," the caption of the video reads as Irwin cracks a joke.
As he makes his way off the set after the shoot, Irwin quips: "I better get to an off licence."
Irwin's wit prompts laughs from the crew who joined him on the shoot.
His return to the presenting world will undoubtedly be welcome news to Irwin's fans who last saw him on screen earlier this week on Morning Live.
The Escape to the Country star opened up to Gethin Jones and Helen Skelton about his experience using palliative care.
Irwin revealed he'd been using a hospice and palliative care for three years and admitted he had plenty of misconceptions about the idea.
Irwin told the BBC show: "It's the care you're given when doctors think you won't recover.
"I've been in palliative care since day one, when I got my diagnosis."
He delved further: "It can take many guises - from hospital visits and chemotherapy all the way to the hospice.

"My first experience of palliative care and hospice was blood transfusions
"I had my first blood transfusion in hospital and then was invited to use the hospice, so I have it a go as a day patient and went into a lovely room.
"I implore people to check out hospices," he encouraged. "If you’ve got the choice of using it, then use it.
"I encourage people to explore that option because it’s not the doom and gloom operation you might think it was."
However, Irwin admitted he still has "up and down days" as he continues to fight the incurable disease.
He regularly shares updates from his Newcastle home which he shares with wife Jess and their three young children.
