UPDATE: Jasmine Harman, the beloved presenter of A Place In The Sun, has revealed shocking details about her husband Jon’s recent heart attack at the age of 45. The incident occurred while the couple was refurbishing their new home in Estepona, Spain, and has left fans and viewers deeply concerned.
In an emotional interview, Jasmine confirmed that Jon suffered a heart attack earlier this month, during the filming of their renovation series. The distressing moment unfolded on camera as Jon was rushed to the hospital, where doctors informed him he had experienced a mild heart attack. This alarming incident adds to the family’s history of heart issues, as Jon’s sister tragically passed away from sudden arrhythmic death syndrome in 2016 at just 40 years old.
Despite the shock, Jasmine shared that Jon is now recovering and back to work. “I know this sounds strange, but even with the background of what could have happened… it makes you feel lucky he just had a mild heart attack and everything is fine,” she stated. The heart attack has prompted Jasmine to reevaluate her life, especially following the loss of close friends, including fellow host Jonnie Irwin, who succumbed to cancer in February 2024 at the age of 50.
Reflecting on the day Jon fell ill, Jasmine recounted how he initially felt strange after lunch. “He went to lie down but then got very agitated… I immediately called the ambulance,” she said. With Jon’s history of thrombosis following a leg injury, Jasmine remained calm throughout the ordeal, believing that everything would be fine.
Upon arrival at the hospital, medics reassured the couple and began immediate tests. “He’s on medication and they will continue to do regular monitoring,” Jasmine explained, adding that they had been aware of Jon’s heart issues due to family history.
This experience has shifted Jasmine’s perspective on life’s challenges. “It’s definitely taught me a lot about how responses shape our experience,” she commented. She now approaches stressors, like being late for school drop-offs, with a newfound understanding, stating, “Life is what you make of it.”
Jasmine’s mother, Vasoulla, flew in from the UK to support the family during this tough time. Jasmine expressed gratitude for her mother’s help, saying, “I wouldn’t have been able to do it without my mum.”
Despite the recent turmoil, Jasmine emphasizes their happiness in Spain, where they are embracing a lifestyle that allows them to enjoy life’s simple pleasures. “We are really enjoying living in Spain… it’s important to go with the flow and be grateful for every experience,” she said.
As the couple looks forward to future renovations and new episodes of A Place In The Sun, Jasmine hopes to inspire others looking to make similar life changes. “Anything I can do to help change people’s lives and be brave, I’m up for it,” she concluded.
This urgent update about Jon Harman’s health has resonated with fans, sparking discussions on social media about the importance of health awareness and the impact of life’s unexpected challenges. Stay tuned for more developments as the Harman family continues their journey in Spain.
