A Place In The Sun’s Jonnie Irwin says ‘life is pretty upside down’ as he issues update

Jonnie Irwin returned to screens yesterday to front BBC show I Escaped to the Country. The 48-year-old and Alistair Appleton, 51, retraced their steps in Shropshire and caught up with a family’s house-hunting journey and a couple who rebuilt their beloved house after a fire.

Taking to Instagram today, the A Place In The Sun presenter spoke further about the show.

Alongside a picture of the couple, he said: “Life pretty upside down atm and forgot to post to let you know about yesterdays show.(sic)

“Part of our ‘what happened next series’ this episode of ‘I Escaped’ has a very interesting story about a couple (spoiler alert) who bought a house we showed them and then shortly after it burnt down!

“I catch up with them after the rebuild. I also share the hour with @alistair_appletons_mindsprings who catches up with some of his buyers.”
