The A Place in the Sun presenter recently shared a radiant beach snap
We have to agree – Jasmine looks absolutely radiant, no matter the decade.
Jasmine is fresh from a trip to Cyprus for A Place in the Sun filming, and had time for a quick pit stop at the beach. Sharing a glowing swimsuit snap, the TV star posed in front of the deep blue sea, rocking a zebra print one-piece and a straw hat.
Jasmine credits her gorgeous glow and boundless energy to switching to a vegan diet a few years ago, which she says has done wonders for her health.
Jasmine has barely changed in 10 years!
She previously told Your Healthy Living: "I don’t think I would have coped as well with the last four years of interrupted sleep (as a mum of small children who don’t like sleeping) without the energy boost I get from my vegan diet.
