Jonnie Irwin talking about his experience of palliative care
Jonnie Irwin revealed he has spent much of his time in an oxygen chamber during his ongoing battle with cancer.
The former A Place In The Sun presenter took to Instagram and said he is currently sitting in the chamber while watching Netflix.
The 49-year-old told his 224,000 followers about the health benefits, writing: “I can’t tell you how happy I am with the Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber lent to me by @o2worx. It’s great for people with my condition but also for recovery from injuries and general wellness. I’m not gonna preach but if you’re interested Google it – you’ll be surprised!
“This chamber is perfect for me, no feelings of claustrophobia and it’s just big enough to get my favourite comfy chair in it!
“I actually look forward to each session knowing that’s it’s doing me good whilst being able to do a bit of work (watching Netflix shhh!) I’m currently in it now!”

The dad of three purchased the oxygen chamber which he keeps in his home as he shared a series of photos while inside therapy unit.
One photo showed Jonnie relaxed while sat on his favourite brown leather chair whilethe second snap was of the chamber unit which is shaped like a tent.
A third snap showed him wearing an oxygen mask while inside the unit which involves breathing 100 per cent (pure) oxygen while in a special space called a hyperbaric chamber.
The air pressure inside is raised to a level that is higher than normal air pressure. The increased air pressure in the chamber helps the lungs collect more oxygen.
