A Place in the Sun’s Jasmine Harman supported by fans as she shares ‘sad news’

A Place in the Sun fans rushed to support presenter Jasmine Harman as she took to social media to share some personal news. The 49-year-old is renowned for her role as a regular presenter on the Channel 4 show.

The TV host first joined the property programme in 2004 and has since appeared in over 200 episodes. Away from the screen, Jasmine is married to Jon Boast and the couple tied the knot in 2009. They met on set of A Place in the Sun, as Jon was the director of photography.

She regularly keeps fans updated on her life away from the camera to her 227,000 followers on Instagram. From adorable selfies with her husband, to heartwarming tributes to the late Jonnie Irwin, Jasmine’s profile is filled with different insights into her day-to-day life.

Jasmine suffered a tragic loss when her co-star Jonnie Irwin died after being diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in 2022. Jonnie died in February 2024 at the age of 50.

More recently, Jasmine took to Instagram to share a heartwarming message to her followers. She told them to “live for each and every day” after experiencing another devastating loss in her personal life.

She shared a video of herself talking to the camera. She captioned the video: “Tragically another beautiful soul has departed this earth. A reminder to live for each and every day x.”

In the powerful post, she said: “I’ve just been for a lovely swim in the sea after my class and I’m feeling very reflective today, I’m feeling very grateful because life throws things at you sometimes and we all get stressed.

“But actually, what we should be thinking is how lucky are we to have the problems that we have because most of them are small problems.

“I had some sad news yesterday, a friend of mine’s husband passed away. He’d been battling cancer for a few years. He was a young dad, you know there aren’t really words to comfort someone in that situation or to say how awful that must be.

“But it really made me put things into perspective and think to myself that we have to be grateful for everyday, for every moment. We have to cherish the time we have with the people that we love and do the things that we enjoy. So just for you, if you needed to hear that today. Sending lots of love.”

Jasmine’s followers rushed to the comments to send their love and support. One user called Mitch wrote: “Much love and although it doesn’t feel right, we get these reminders along the way of just how precious this life is.”

Laura added: “What sad news, I’m so sorry” with a red love heart emoji and Sonia said: “Sending love xx.”
