Jonnie Irwin says he kept his cancer diagnosis secret for so long because “people treat you differently” when you have the illness.
The former A Place in the Sun presenter opened up about his battle during an emotional interview on Good Morning Britain.
“Professionally, I didn’t want to lose work. But also, socially and emotionally, people treat you differently,” Irwin said.
“And people start making decisions for you... If I withheld that information, I found I could live a normal life right up until a year ago.”
