After Jonnie's death, Jasmine took to social media with a heartfelt tribute to her co-star and friend. "Jonnie, you've taught me so much in our time as work colleagues and as good friends," penned the presenter.
"I have never admired you more than over the last few years as you've faced life with cancer with positivity, determination and bloody mindedness. I've never known anyone as strong as you. You have done yourself, your loved ones and all of us proud."

"I don't know how long I have left, but I try to stay positive, and my attitude is that I'm living with cancer, not dying from it," he told HELLO! at the time.
"But now I want to make plans. I want to make memories and capture these moments with my family because the reality is, my boys are going to grow up not knowing their dad and that breaks my heart."

Opening up about Jonnie's final days in an exclusive interview with HELLO!, Jess said: "That whole week, I kept thinking: 'This can't be it,' because we were always told there would be a neurological decline. Two weeks before, he'd been playfully giving me grief for something, so I was still trying to get him to make plans and telling him off when I felt he was being negative. Now I wonder, did he know?
