A Place In The Sun star Jasmine Harman's husband Jon suffered sudden heart attack while filming new show
A Place In The Sun presenter Jasmine Harman has spoken out about the moment her husband Jon suffered a heart attack while the pair filmed for an upcoming Channel 4 series.
The couple welcomed cameras into their home in Estepona as they renovated their Spanish abode for a new Channel 4 daytime show. Jasmine Harman’s Renovation In The Sun currently airs on weeknight at 5pm, with Tuesday’s episode showing the moment that the family were hid with a major medical emergency.
Jon was rushed to hospital after suffering from a heart attack. Jasmine was seen recalling the moment he fell ill on the show, saying in an update to camera: “Jon had a funny turn at home and I had to call an ambulance, but he's sleeping now, having a little rest. Hopefully it's nothing serious, but we're just waiting for some test results.”
The couple previously faced hardship after Jon’s sister Jo died suddenly at the age of 40 in 2016. It was found that Jo had died as a result of sudden arrhythmic death syndrome, which is when a sudden cardiac arrest result in death.
Jasmine added: “I thought it could be a heart attack, and obviously what happened with Jon's sister ran through my head. I could see that Jon was thinking about that as well, which was what made me want to get the ambulance there as quickly as possible.”
Speaking from his hospital bed, Jon told viewers: “Just when we thought we were getting back to normal life, or as normal as life could be, mid-renovation, and I was getting back on my feet. This afternoon when we were with one of the builders I got sort of pains in my chest and tight chested, aching arms.
“We called an ambulance and now I'm in hospital, and the blood test results suggest that I've had a mild heart attack.”
Jasmine and Jon share two children together - Joy and Albion. The entire family made the trip out to Estepona for the new series.
Speaking to The Mirror, Jasmine updated fans on how Jon has been doing since the shocking health emergency was caught on camera. She said: “Jon is fine now and he is back working.
“I know this sounds strange but even with the background of what could have happened and worrying he could have died; it makes you feel lucky he just had a mild heart attack and everything is fine. But the challenges life throws at you has made me take things in my stride a lot better than I used to.”
