Jasmine Harman pays emotional tribute to A Place in the Sun’s Jonnie Irwin on anniversary of his death

JASMINE Harman has paid an emotional tribute to Jonnie Irwin on the first anniversary of his death.

The A Place in the Sun host – who joined the Channel 4 show at the same time as Jonnie – took to social media to mark the sad day.

Sharing snaps of her late friend, one saw them posing with their first house hunters in Cape Town, while the second saw Jasmine and Jonnie celebrating his 50th birthday.

Jasmine, 49, said: “Dear Jonnie, I miss you. Time goes by too quickly. A year already.

“The hole that you left behind will never be filled. You were (and you still are) an inspiration to so so many people, myself included.”

“Love and thoughts to your wonderful family and amazing friends.”

Commenting on the tribute, one fan said: “Taken way too soon 💙. A pleasure to watch him this weekend on A Place In the Sun re runs. Such a lovely man. Thoughts to his family and friends.”

A second wrote: “A beautiful tribute, Jasmine.”

“Very much missed…will raise a glass for you tonight Jonnie,” said a third.

While a fourth posted: “He was such an inspiration to everyone.”

Jonnie died on 2 February 2024 aged just 50 following a battle with lung cancer.

The presenter had three young children with his widow Jessica Irwin.

Last year it was revealed how Jonnie had passed his entire £953,000 estate to his wife.

His final will was signed in October 2022.

Documents obtained by The Sun show the brave presenter had £956,967 in assets, reduced to £953,425 after deductions were taken.

The will was signed off by a probate court in Newcastle, where he moved from his native Leicestershire.
