The A Place In The Sun star has terminal cancer and has said how important it is for him to spend time making memories with his wife Jess and their boys – Rex, four, and three-year-old twins Rafa and Cormac.
His latest Instagram picture was taken as Irwin took his sons swimming, with the snap taken from behind the boys as they perched by the side of the pool in a row.
