Jonnie Irwin, host of A Place In The Sun, bought his children 18th birthday presents before his death. He also revealed his wish for them, ensuring they received a debt-free asset. In a heartfelt tribute, his wife Jessica Holmes expressed her need for Jonnie and their children. They chose not to tell their children about Jonnie's terminal cancer diagnosis, wanting their final memories to be authentic. Jonnie also wished for his children to have the confidence of fee-paying school students while also being street-smart.
