Despite her split from Hector, Jasmine has said she isn't deterred by the WAG lifestyle. "I'm open to getting to know everyone. If I like you, I like you, so I'm not put off from dating footballers," she said.

Reflecting on her relationship with Hector, she admirably said: "That relationship was so long ago, I don't think about it anymore.

"It was a very healthy and lovely relationship and I suppose it did prepare me a little for high profile things but my main preparation has come from my mum and my sister and my friends. I have a huge support network."

Expanding more on the public element of her past dating life, she said: "It [was] so long ago now that I don't think about it on a day-to-day basis, but I'm sure that having lived that at such a young age has obviously prepared me. As have other things, I've been in the public eye with an online job since I was like 19.

"So it's been a while of doing a public facing job, I guess. I don't know if that's the right way to put it, but I think I feel prepared and I feel like I know that people like to talk and it doesn't really bother me too much."
