Over the course of her impressive 15-year career on A Place in the Sun, London-born presenter Jasmine Harman fronted more than 200 episodes, becoming a familiar face for fans of the property-hunting series. In recent years, her life has taken a new turn as she relocated to Spain with her husband, cameraman Jon Boast, and their two children, Joy and Albion, making the move official in October 2023. While embracing her new Mediterranean lifestyle, Jasmine has continued to stay in touch with fans via social media, recently sharing her experience during a “scary” 10-hour power outage that affected large parts of the Iberian peninsula. Now 49, the TV personality has also been candid about her journey through menopause, speaking openly about the challenges it brought. However, she once admitted that those struggles paled in comparison to one particularly terrifying moment while filming in the Algarve, Portugal — a memory she says stands out as one of the worst in her time on the show.

Jasmine Harman’s ‘dodgy’ off-air incident
Jasmine – on The Chase Celebrity Special today (May 10) told how a “handsome” pilot had taken her up in a microlight aircraft above the Atlantic beaches and whitewashed fishing villages of southern Portugal.
Microlight planes are lightweight and designed for recreational flying. They usually carry just one or two people. So as you can imagine, there wasn’t much space in the cockpit. Combine that with a pilot showing off his flying skills, and you can predict what happened next.
“We were flying and he was doing all of these little tricks, and I got a bit of motion sickness and I started to feel a bit dodgy, Jasmine told The Express in April. “I kept telling myself: ‘I’ll be alright, I’ll be alright.’ He landed the microlight but I felt so sick, so I thought, let me run to the toilet I’m going to vomit.”
However, she added: “I just couldn’t get the helmet off. I ended up vomiting inside the helmet. And it was so embarrassing. In front of the house hunters and this handsome pilot. The whole team. Everyone was there. It was bad. That was an awful moment. But now, I can look back on it and laugh.” We’re glad about that! “I was mortified,” Jasmine added.
Fortunately for her, the episode never made it to air.

Jasmine finds her own place in the sun
Jasmine Harman and her husband Jon Boast made the decision to permanently relocate to sunny Spain in 2023. They live there with their two kids, Joy and Albion.
On August 29, 2024, the family celebrated their one-year anniversary there.
“We’d thought long and hard about the move and it was definitely the right decision for our family work/life balance,” she wrote on Instagram last year. See above.
“But it is fair to say that there were many challenges that I wasn’t expecting initially, and whilst the children settled in fairly quickly, it took me a while to really begin to feel at home here! But we did it! Happy 1 year in Spain to us!”
“It’s been the most marvellous year, and now we have a brand new adventure on the horizon.”
