The Channel 4 presenter has been busy filming new episodes of the property series this week

Jasmine Harman has opened up on the "emotional" filming process she's been a part of this past week ahead of new A Place in the Sun episodes.

Harman has been a stalwart on the property show for years and has returned to help a new crop of home-hunters find their dream homes in the sun-soaked location of Malaga, Spain.


The presenter, who has permanently made the switch to Spain after ditching the UK herself, took to Instagram to share a teaser about the new instalments.

Donning a turquoise dress, Harman spoke to her 170k followers: "I can’t believe it is Thursday already this week. This week has gone by so quickly."

Turning her attention towards the show, she added: "I have been in land, in Malaga. Just look at that scenery.

"Let me tell you it has been an emotional shoot," Harman teased. "Oh my gosh. I have never had so many tears on a shoot before."

Luckily, she assured fans of the Channel 4 property series they were "happy tears" before she signed off.

"Fingers crossed we end my week tomorrow with some good news," she told fans.

This year marks 20 years since Harman first jetted off to present her first show on A Place in the Sun.

The presenter has been vocal about starting her career at the same time as the late Jonnie Irwin and the friendship the pair struck up over the past two decades.

Irwin died earlier this year at the age of 50, four years after being diagnosed with lung cancer which later spread to his brain.

His wife Jess confirmed he'd died after his body had grown too weak to fight off a lung infection in the days before his death.

Harman marked the 20th anniversary of her APITS debut with a special tribute to Irwin on social media.

Alongside a slideshow of snaps from their time working together, Harman penned: "Two 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.

"In particular, one very special friend… Jonnie and I started our Television careers together, which makes the 20 year anniversary especially poignant."

She continued: "Without him, I have not really felt like celebrating. I’ve 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’t seem possible that he is gone.

"In Jonnie’s 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’s family and loved ones," Harman signed off.
