Jonnie Irwin fans said he was “looking great” amid his cancer fight as he enjoyed an “incredible” summer break with his family.
The A Place In The Sun star has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and has previously said he is determined to make the most of any time he has left with his wife Jess and their three sons – Rex, four, and three-year-old twins Rafa and Cormac.
He and his family celebrated the bank holiday weekend by heading to a wildlife park in Yorkshire, and the star said they had a blast.

Irwin shared a string of snaps from their trip on Instagram, with some showing him posing with his family and others showing the animals they saw.
“Just back from an incredible couple of days and a night at @yorkshirewildlifepark,” he told his followers.
“Really well thought out for families with the animals, ranger talks, live shows and on site accom.
"I’d definitely recommend the trip for families as it was one of the most fun weekends we’ve done and the boys were constantly engaged. Lots of space.
Top marks to all the staff and @wildlife_fdn who create a great experience for everyone.”
“We’ll be back!” added the 49-year-old.

He has since told fans that he kept his illness quiet at first because he didn't want to be treated differently and was worried that it could lead to him losing work.
The star, who is also known for hosting Escape To The Country, was initially given months to live and has said doctors did not expect him to see 2023.
