Jonnie Irwin shares heartwarming post of ‘last ever ride’ to nursery with son
A Place in the Sun host Jonnie Irwin welcomed fans along for a milestone moment as he enjoyed his 'last ever ride' to nursery with his eldest son, Rex.
Irwin shares three children with his wife; four-year-old Rex, and three-year-old twins, Rafa and Cormac.
The TV presenter has been keeping fans updated with the quality time he's been spending with his family after he learned he had terminal cancer, though Irwin recently admitted he and his wife, Jessica Holmes, are yet to tell their children about his illness.

Earlier this year, Irwin admitted it 'pains' him to think that his children, especially the younger twins, 'probably won't remember' him.
Irwin is now focusing on making memories with his kids, and yesterday (7 August) he shared a snap of himself, Rex and Rafa on the driveway of their house, ready to set off to Rex's nursery.
Irwin and Rex were both on bikes, while Rafa stood alongside them wielding a spade.
Alongside the image, Irwin wrote: "Last EVER ride to nursery with Rex. Suitably waved off by Rafa and his spade and Rex with his game face on!"
With Rex now at primary school age, he'll likely be spending the summer preparing for the transition to a new school after finishing his time at nursery.
Other snaps shared in Irwin's post showed Rex cycling through a park on his way to nursery, and grinning in a selfie with his dad.
Though Irwin might not get to accompany his son to nursery any more, the dad recently made clear that he plans to do as much cycling as he can with his three boys after getting his hands on a cargo bike, which allows him to cycle with his sons in a basket on the front of the bike.
He shared a post of himself cycling down the street with the kids, writing: "Since delivery of our @babboe_cargobike it’s been out most days. I’m obviously a lot weaker these days and would never be strong enough to cart these ankle biters around but with electric power assistance I can pretty much go anywhere.
"The boys love it and it’s made the nursery run fun ( if I’m up in time) it’s probably cut our car use by about 50 percent so obviously much greener so hopefully making up for some of the naughty motors in my past."
Irwin, who is now 49 years old, previously admitted to Hello! Magazine that his death could 'happen at any time', but added: "I’m here to stop it for as long as possible."
