The presenter claimed his contract was not renewed due to his cancer diagnosis
Former A Place In The Sun presenter Jonnie Irwin said he was "heartbroken" after claims he was kicked off the popular Channel 4 show due to his cancer diagnosis.
At the time, he was filming for the show in Italy. Speaking on Good Morning Britain today, November 24, he said he had kept his illness a secret because he did not want people to treat him differently. Jonnie told presenters Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard: "I was in fear of what happened to some extent. When people find out you've got cancer - I know what I felt when I heard the words, it's just this terrifying thing - and I thought, if I feel like that, everybody else will feel like that.
He added: "So if I withheld that information, I found I could live a normal life right up until probably a year ago. Certain busybodies on social media [said] 'you don't look well', 'you look ill', 'you should go see a doctor'."
