[TV] Johnny from Place in the Sun terminally ill .

[Live by the sea]

Just heard that one of my favourite presenters on one of my favourite programmes has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

He is 48 and has 3 young children and a wife

Terrible news .

 

[Official Old Man]

Adicted to this show. Very sad news.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Very sad news for him and his family.

Seems a nice enough bloke.

 

[Titanic]

That is terribly sad news

How fragile we are.

 

[Insel affe]

Love the show, awful news for him and his family, cherish the time we have with the ones we love.

 

[dolphins]

Really sad to hear this. Seems a cracking bloke, with a young family. His APITS episodes are always fun as he gently takes the piss out of the prospective purchasers. Having just lost a family member to cancer I can understand fully what his family are going through.

 

[Poojah]

Wow, very sad. I think I must have watched every episode of ever series of APITS during the Covid lockdown as I longed to travel once more. Seems a great guy, and as a father of two young kids myself it must be heartbreaking and terrifying in equal measure to have to think of leaving them behind.

Stay strong, Jonnie.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Love the show, awful news for him and his family, cherish the time we have with the ones we love.

That is so so true, maybe to some extent we all take our loved ones for granted, but then we hear something like this, and it brings you up short.

I've a feeling Mrs. CS will be receiving some flowers tonight.

 

[GoingUp]

Really sad news, he's great on Escape to the Country (not seen a place in the sun) and thought he looked ill for a while but hoped he had just aged or lost weight.

He so young too with a young family which makes it even more tragic.

 

[papachris]

Terribly sad for him and his family. Always comes across as a genuinely nice bloke

 

[Badger]

Such sad news. I often watch Escape to the Country with my gf, mainly older episodes from 5/6 years ago. We happened to catch a recent episode a couple of months back and couldn't believe how much older he looked. I'd assumed he'd had an illness and was on the road to recovery, not the terrible news he broke today.

 

[Weststander]

So sad and unfair.

A great presenter of Escape To The Country, JI always came across as unpretentious and a lovely bloke, unchanged by a bit of fame.

I hope the family get as much quality time together as possible.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

That's such sad news. Always seemed a decent guy and the photos of his sweet family in the press today are heartbreaking, given the circumstances.

Cancer really f*cking sucks
