A Place In The Sun star Jasmine Harman has opened up about her struggles to discuss her late co-star Jonnie Irwin. Jonnie, who worked alongside Jasmine on the popular property show, tragically lost his battle with terminal lung cancer earlier this year. The devastating news was confirmed on Friday February 2. Jasmine took to Instagram to pay a heartfelt tribute to her friend and colleague when news of his passing broke. She has since taken a break from social media but has recently returned to filming. The Channel 4 show is set to celebrate its 20th anniversary on April 29.
Reflecting on this significant milestone, Jasmine expressed her pride in being part of A Place in the Sun for two decades. The show has had a profound impact on countless individuals, helping hundreds of couples find their dream homes. However, reaching this landmark has also been bittersweet for Jasmine, who still finds it incredibly difficult to talk about Jonnie. The pain of his loss is still very raw for her.
Last month, Jasmine broke her silence on her grief, describing it as a “strange thing”. She paid a heartfelt tribute to Jonnie, highlighting his charismatic and energetic personality. His cheeky-chappy persona and mischievous sense of humor always brought joy and laughter to those around him. Jonnie had an incredible ability to connect with people, making them feel like lifelong friends. Jasmine expressed her admiration for him, particularly in how he faced his battle with cancer with unwavering positivity, determination, and resilience.
Jasmine concluded her tribute by acknowledging the profound impact Jonnie had on her life. She described him as her partner in crime and her original co-presenter. The world feels a little darker without him, but the memories of Jonnie will always bring a smile to her face. She expressed how much she will miss him.
Jasmine is a familiar face on A Place in the Sun, having helped countless individuals find their dream homes over the past 20 years. Last year, she made the life-changing decision to relocate to Spain, resulting in a shorter commute for work. She shares her life with her husband, Jon Boast, and their two children. Jasmine and Jon met while working on the show and tied the knot in 2009.
