Jasmine Harman remembered her late A Place in the Sun co-star Jonnie Irwin during a heartfelt holiday with his family. The presenter died in 2024 at the age of 50 after a three-year battle with lung cancer, leaving behind his wife Jessica and their three children.
A Bittersweet Getaway
In a touching social media post, the Channel 4 star shared glimpses of their sun-drenched getaway, keeping her beloved friend in her thoughts. One photo showed the group posing by a pool, while a video captured them taking turns jumping into the water.
Alongside the Instagram post, she wrote: "Oh Jonnie, you would have loved this weekend. My heart is so full after spending time with Jess and the boys. You'd be so proud of them. Watching our families spend time together, sharing laughs, stories and creating new memories, felt so incredibly special."
She added: "You are always missed, but seeing your boys grow into such wonderful young people is a beautiful reminder that a part of you is still with us every day. And dear Jess, I am always in awe of you. Such an amazing woman and wonderful wife and mum."
Fan Reactions
Fans flooded the comments with praise. One wrote: "Oh Jasmine, this is so heartwarming! I'm so pleased that your friendship with Jess and the boys is still thriving. We all still miss Jonnie." Another commented: "This made me cry. He will never be forgotten. So glad you're still in touch with his family."
A third added: "Such a kind thing to do, so sad yet so lovely to see your kids playing with Jonnie's boys. You really are a truly lovely family to have as friends."
Remembering Jonnie Irwin
Jonnie married Jessica in 2016 and was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2020, which later spread to his brain. He told the Sun: "Within a week of flying back from filming, I was being given six months to live. I had to go home and tell my wife, who was looking after our babies, that she was on her own, pretty much. That was devastating."
Jessica confirmed his death on Instagram, saying: "It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of Jonnie's passing. A truly remarkable soul, he fought bravely against cancer with unwavering strength and courage. Jonnie touched the lives of so many with his kindness, warmth, and infectious spirit."
