Jonnie Irwin's terminal cancer diagnosis has inspired A Place in the Sun's Jasmine Harman to live for the moment.The pair co-presented Channel 4's sun-kissed lifestyle series together for 15 years up until 2019, and during her recent interview with HELLO!, the 47-year-old explained how "very, very special friend" Jonnie's health battle made her "take stock" and move to Spain with her husband and kids. "It has been a huge decision – a year or more in the making.

For both of us, it was about making the best life.The years slip away and that was very much why we wanted to make this move; to have more quality time together, more family time," said Jasmine. "We have had friends – including Jonnie, obviously – who have had life-changing illnesses and diagnoses.

And we have had bereavements, too, that have made us take stock of things. You never know what is around the corner. "I say that to my house-hunters – for a lot of people, losing someone or a health scare can be a catalyst for them to decide: 'Let's do this.

It's now or never. Life's too short to mess around.'" Earlier this month, Jonnie revealed to his social media fanbase that he'd started to use a hyperbaric oxygen chamber to treat his cancer, which spread from his lungs to the brain.
