A Place In The Sun presenter Jonnie Irwin worried fans in November 2022, after sharing the upsetting news he had terminal cancer.
Jonnie's fans have been sending him support ever since he explained his diagnosis, and last week his followers grew concerned when he explained he had changed his lifestyle in order to follow Jane Mclelland's How To Starve Cancer method.

Jane survived stage four cancer herself and now offers lifestyle and diet advice to others diagnosed with the disease to help manage their illness.
Writing about following Jane's plan, Jonnie explained it's not easy, saying: "Her story is truly an inspiration and in my opinion a must-read for anyone affected by cancer. It's inspired me to change my lifestyle and importantly given me hope in an otherwise hopeless situation. Don't get me wrong- it's b****y hard but I'm on board!"

"I'm trying to starve a tumour by blocking its feeding pathways, by taking 'off label' drugs as well as a tailored diet - losing weight is deffo not the aim ! Plus exercise and key supplements with the expert help of @how_to_starve_cancer."
