Jasmine Harman has shared an emotional update that has left fans pausing mid-scroll, after revealing the devastating loss of a close friend following a battle with cancer.

The A Place in the Sun star, 50, took to Instagram in the early hours of Saturday morning to confirm the sad news, posting a serene image of a tree during a quiet walk — a gentle backdrop to a message filled with grief.

“Today, we bid farewell to a friend,” Jasmine wrote.
“Another beautiful soul lost to cancer. Leaving behind a wonderful, loving family. A beloved wife and five very special children. Friends. Relatives. Colleagues. Cherished memories which will be treasured forever. RIP SD.”

The heartfelt tribute continued as Jasmine reflected on the impact her friend had on everyone around her.

“You have left an enormous hole in the hearts of those who love you,” she added. “As only someone with such a huge personality could.”

She ended the post with poignant hashtags — #gonebutneverforgotten, #lifeisshort, and #playmore — words that seemed to echo far beyond the screen.

Fans rally around Jasmine

Within minutes, the comment section was flooded with messages of love and support from fans and followers.

“Sending you so much love and strength. Thoughts are with you and the family,” one person wrote.
“Deepest condolences for your sad loss,” said another.
“So very sorry to hear this, Jasmine. Thinking of you and your loved ones,” added a third.

Others described cancer as “such a cruel disease,” offering sympathy and encouragement during what many recognised as an incredibly difficult time.

“Losing someone puts everything into perspective”

Jasmine later opened up further via her Instagram Stories, sharing a candid video filmed while attending A Place in the Sun Live in Manchester — just a day after the funeral.

“I was at a funeral yesterday,” she said, becoming visibly emotional.
“And then I travelled from Southampton to Manchester on a four-and-a-half-hour train journey.”

She went on to reflect on how loss can fundamentally shift priorities.

“Losing someone just puts things into perspective so much,” Jasmine admitted. “If there’s something you want to do, don’t put it off.”

Drawing on her years of experience working with hopeful buyers on the Channel 4 show, she explained how health scares, bereavements, and life-changing moments often become the catalyst for finally pursuing long-held dreams.

“That’s why all these people are here today,” she said of the live event audience. “To make their dreams come true. So don’t wait.”

She later captioned the video simply: “Bit deep for a Saturday morning but true.”

As fans continue to send messages of comfort, Jasmine’s words stand as both a tribute to a life lost — and a quiet reminder about time, love, and the things we keep telling ourselves we’ll do “one day.”
