A Place in the Sun\u2019s Jasmine Harman has paid tribute to her late co-presenter Jonnie Irwin as she marks 20 years on the popular property programme.<\/p>\n

In an emotional Instagram<\/a> post, she lamented crossing the milestone without her close friend and colleague by her side, revealing that the devastating loss had made her reluctant to celebrate her own accomplishment at all.<\/p>\n

Jonnie Irwin died in February, aged 50<\/a>, after a cancer battle spanning several years.<\/p>\n

Harman\u2019s latest post is accompanied by a compilation of photos of them working together at various events, describing it as an \u201chonour\u201d to have worked with someone so \u201cvibrant and fun\u201d.<\/p>

The caption read: \u201cI recently passed the 20 year anniversary of my first ever shoot on A Place in the Sun.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo decades ago, my career turned onto a different path which has shaped so many factors of my life until now. From meeting my husband, having our children, moving to Spain, to making so many wonderful friends over the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn particular, one very special friend\u2026 Jonnie and I started our television careers together, which makes the 20 year anniversary especially poignant.<\/p>\n

Harman continued: \u201cWithout him, I have not really felt like celebrating. I\u2019ve been pretty choked up about posting anything about it to be honest. I miss him. He was always full of fun and mischief, it doesn\u2019t seem possible that he is gone.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Jonnie\u2019s memory, I give you a snippet of the last 20 years. What an honour to work with someone so vibrant and fun. Thank you Jonnie for the memories, sending love as always to Jonnie\u2019s family and loved ones.\u201d<\/p>\n

Irwin was initially diagnosed in August 2020 and told he had only six months to live, with Harman previously hailing his \u201cpositivity, determination and bloody mindedness\u201d while going through something so harrowing.<\/p>\n

The pair met in 2004 while filming a pilot episode of A Place in the Sun in South Africa.<\/p>\n
