The mother-of-two continued: ‘I had some sad news yesterday. A friend of mine’s husband passed away.
‘He had been battling cancer for a few years, [he was] a young dad. There aren’t really words to comfort someone in that situation or to say how awful it must be.
‘But it really made me put things into perspective and think to myself that we have to be grateful for every day and every moment.
‘We have to cherish the time that we have with the people that we love and do the things that we enjoy.’
Jasmine’s fans were broken-hearted on her behalf, and flooded her comment section with messages of support.
‘Much love,’ wrote one, adding: ‘And although it doesn’t feel right, we get these reminders along the way of just how precious this life is.’
Another echoed the sentiment, saying: ‘My thoughts are with you and your friend, Jasmine. Cancer is a scourge that takes away many lives.
‘You are right in your sentiment. Live, laugh and love every day as if it’s your last, as one day it will be.’

Others were inspired by Jasmine’s message, with one commenting: ‘You’re so right! Sometimes life gets us down, and it certainly is for me now, but I remain grateful.’
‘Well said and very true,’ said one, with another adding: ‘What sad news, I’m so sorry.’
A concerned fan commented: ‘I’m so sorry to hear your very sad news Jasmine. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your friend. Sending you lots of love and hugs.’
Jasmine has said that it’s still difficult for her to talk about her A Place in the Sun co-host Jonnie after he tragically lost his battle with cancer.
Television presenter Jonnie d!ed aged 50 in early February after being diagnosed with cancer in 2020.
Co-presenters Jasmine, 48, and Jonnie were hired together in 2004, meeting during a pilot shoot in South Africa.
While broadcaster Jasmine has many happy memories of working on the show over the last two decades, she says she’s still not over the d3ath of her friend Jonnie.
She told the Mirror: ‘I’m so proud to have been part of A Place in the Sun for 20 years. It has been life changing in so many ways.
‘I met my husband (a cameraman) Jon on the programme, we’ve got two children, Joy, nine, and Albion, seven, now and I feel proud to be able to show people that anything is possible.
‘But [reaching this landmark] has also been very bittersweet. I still find it very hard even talking about Jonnie. It’s still very raw.’
