She said: ‘I’ve been there nearly eight years now and the cast have felt like my family. It just felt right.’

Speaking on what’s next for her following her departure from the village, Jazmine added: ‘I’ll literally do anything! I’ve never been in this situation, since I actually quit university after landing the role in Hollyoaks. I would like to give theatre a go.’

When asked whether she would tread the boards in a West End, the brunette beauty added: ‘I would say more plays, I would love to work with the Royal Exchange Theatre since it’s my local.

‘I’d like to do something more serious, where I’m not playing the same character every day.’

Jazmine’s time in Hollyoaks was nothing short of a rollercoaster, as character Esther was at the centre of plenty of hard-hitting storylines.
