The 49-year-old A Place in the Sun star announced in November he’d been diagnosed with terminal cancer, with the disease having spread from his lungs to his brain but this week made a rare public appearance.
In a video posted on doting dad Jonnie’s Instagram, he could be seen pretending to kiss Jules on the neck after the latter unbuttoned his shirt.
Jonnie joked in the clip: ‘No!’ as Jules fiddled with his top before burying his face into Jules’ neck.
He captioned his new post: ‘When @thejuleshudson unbuttons the ‘2nd button’ he’s simply irresistible…’
Jonnie and Jules were at the award show with their fellow Escape to the Country stars, Nicki Chapman and Sonali Shah.
Speaking at the event on a sunny Tuesday afternoon, he told The Mirror: ‘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.’
The much-loved dad has shared health updates along the way and recently spoke candidly about his terminal diagnosis just before he spent what will likely be his last Father’s Day with his children.
Speaking on the AIG Life’s The OneChat podcast, Jonnie recalled how telling his wife was ‘brutal’ and the memory lingers in his head.
He said: ‘That bloody memory stays in my head and it is brutal.
‘And all I can remember is hugging her and just saying sorry and I still feel sorry now.’
The star also confessed he has not yet told his children about his fate, as he fears doing so could ‘confuse’ them.
He shared: ‘I keep being asked, “Are you going to tell them?” but tell them what?
‘It would be horrible news that they’d have to get their heads around. And it would confuse the hell out of Rex – he’s got a shocking enough day coming. Let’s bury our heads in the sand for as long as possible.’
Jonnie previously explained he initially kept his diagnosis a secret, for fear he would not be able to provide for his family.
