The 49-year-old, who has been told he only has six months left to live, has alleged he was paid off after telling them mid-season
He has accused Freeform Productions, who are the company behind the popular Channel 4 series, of stopping from giving him work. He told a national newspaper: “As soon as I told A Place In The Sun about my diagnosis they paid me for the rest of the season but didn’t renew my contract, they knew I wanted to carry on. That hurt, that broke my heart, I feel hugely let down, I can’t even watch the show now.
In a joint statement, Channel 4 and Freeform Productions have responded to the allegations made by Jonnie Irwin by stating: “No stone was left unturned in trying to enable Jonnie to continue his international filming with us during Covid but the production company were unable to secure adequate insurance cover for him. We, of course, understand how frustrating this must be for him at this incredibly difficult time.
