Jonnie Irwin amuses fans with 'bin washing' bath update amid cancer diagnosis
TV star Jonnie Irwin has shared an update from his bath - as he tried to scrub himself clean after spending an afternoon washing out bins.
The 49-year-old television star promised his family that he wouldn’t leave his bathtub until the ‘stink’ of bins had been washed off him.
Jonnie - who revealed last year that he had been given a terminal lung cancer diagnosis - delighted fans with his upbeat and amusing update.
However, there may have been something of an insult being added to his bin juice injury as he revealed he was watching the cricket at the time.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Jonnie explained: “I went on a jet washing marathon earlier and got stuck in the washing the inside of my wheelie bins.

Speaking at the TRIC Awards last month, he remained upbeat as he said: "Today is a good day. Yesterday I peeled myself out of bed and munched painkillers but so far so good today.
"I take every day as a gift and as it comes."
Jonnie shared his heartbreaking diagnosis last November after receiving the devastating news himself in 2020, saying during an interview on Good Morning Britain: “I wanted to keep it a secret because professionally, I didn't want to lose work. Socially and emotionally too, people treat you differently and people start making decisions for you."
He added: "If I withheld that information, I found I could live a normal life right up until a year ago."
