It comes after Jonnie revealed he was forced to continue working despite having terminal cancer because he failed to take out 'critical illness' cover.
While he had taken out insurance for getting the 'terminal diagnosis', this will not pay out until he has died.

The presenter was told he had six months to live two years ago.
