The devastating announcement comes just two years after the passing of Jasmine’s colleague and friend Jonnie Irwin, the well-known property expert from Channel 4’s A Place In The Sun and the BBC’s Escape to the Country.
The beloved presenter died in February 2024 after battling brain cancer, leaving behind his wife and young children. Jonnie had been given a terminal diagnosis in 2020 after cancer spread from his lungs to his brain.
His wife said in a statement: “In Loving Memory. 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. At this time, we kindly ask for the privacy of Jonnie’s family as they navigate through this profound loss. Their grief is immeasurable, and your thoughts, prayers, and support are deeply appreciated.”
Jessica added: “As we remember the beautiful moments shared with Jonnie, let us celebrate a life well-lived and a legacy that will forever be etched in our hearts. Jonnie may be gone from our sight, but his love, laughter, and memories will live on. Rest in peace, dear Jonnie. You will be dearly missed, but never forgotten.”
