During the Meet The Parents episode, Yasmin asked her mum and sister how Miaow Miaow was, and they responded: "Everything's fine".
As Yamin sits down it's the first question she asks her mum and sister, and she looks relieved as they tell her the cat is doing ok.
Announcing the news on Instagram on Wednesday evening, Yasmin wrote: "As I've spoken about her on the show I'm sure a lot of you will know I have a cat called miaow miaow who's been by my side for 11 years now.
"When I was filming Love Island I had a bad gut feeling something
was off and when my mum and sister came into the villa I asked
them and still felt like something was off."
She continued in her statement: "Rightfully they didn't tell me because I was still in the villa but after the final I called my sister and she told me that miaow miaow had cancer and died whilst I was away filming Love Island."
Yasmin explained she was doing her best to maintain a visible presence online in light of the news, but it was proving hard.
She continued: "I'm trying to be as active as I can be on socials but am taking time for myself to process this heartbreak.
"RIP to my beautiful baby girl, you were so loved and will always be
in my soul."
Yasmin, 24, who finished in third place with partner Jamie Rhodes, 26, returned to social media earlier today to thank fans for supporting her on the show.

"I feel so grateful and blessed and can't wait to see what the future holds."

The Wheel contestant leaves BBC show with ZERO pounds after everyone fails to answer jackpot question in 'rare' result - but could you have guessed it right?
A contestant on The Wheel went home with zero pounds after every celebrity failed to guess a jackpot prize question on an episode of the BBC show. The popular programme sees members of the public try to win cash prizes by answering quiz questions in specific categories, with the help of a number of celebrity experts. As The Wheel spins, contestants hope they will land on the celebrity who has the right knowledge to help with their question. However, one episode has gone viral after a contestant walked away empty-handed leaving host Michael McIntyre stunned. The show started off smoothly, with each hopeful sailing through the rounds up until the end of the game. Could you have done better than these participants? Fans watched as contestant Jonathan took on a question for a prize of £52,000 with help from YouTube star Harry Pinero. He was asked: 'When fully grown, which of these species of shark is typically the largest? Great hammerhead shark, Great white shark, Tiger shark or Basking shark.' Unfortunately for Jonathan, Harry confessed he had 'no clue' but answered Hammerhead Shark - but the correct answer was a Basking Shark. Gillian was up next and faced a £26,000 question with Mark Wright. They were asked: 'Which country is the world's largest producer of coffee? Brazil, Colombia, India or Kenya.' While they were both drawn to Columbia, they were gutted to learn the right answer was in fact Brazil. Luckily for Gillian, she had another shot at cracking The Wheel, with comedian Katherine Ryan stepping in to help her with a £13,000 question. They were asked: 'Of these restaurants, which opened in the UK first? KFC, McDonald's, Domino's or Wagamamas.' Katherine, 42, admitted she hadn't been in the UK that many years to know for sure, but noted that McDonald's is long in business. Gillian agreed, sharing how she remembers having birthday parties there as a child. Have you guessed it? In a shock to them both, it was revealed KFC was the oldest restaurant chain from the list. While Gillian was devastated at the result, funnyman Michael, 49, called the episode a 'heartbreaker' and pointed out how it's 'rare' contestants leave the show empty-handed. Closing the show, he told viewers: 'We have no winner tonight, but thank you to all our experts. We'll see you next time - and hopefully we'll have a winner then - on The Wheel.' The Wheel airs on BBC One and is available now on iPlayer.

Celebs Go Dating's Mark Labbett strikes up unlikely friendship with glam female co-star 29-years younger than him
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) YOU would hardly think he is her type but Love Islander Olivia Hawkins has struck up an unlikely friendship with Celebs Go Dating co-star Mark Labbett. Despite their 29-year age gap, she says the pair have become close pals since joining the line-up for the E4 show's 14th series which starts tonight. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 7 Olivia Hawkins has struck up an unlikely friendship with Celebs Go Dating co-star Mark Labbett Credit: Channel4 7 Mark and Olivia have become close pals since joining the line-up for the E4 show's 14th series Credit: Channel4 7 Celebs Go Dating from left: Mark Labbett, Olivia Hawkins, Louis Russell, Jon Lee, Kerry Katona, Donna Preston, Sam Prince and Christine McGuinness And Olivia, 30, reckons 59-year-old Mark, nicknamed The Beast on ITV1 quiz show The Chase, is nothing like his TV moniker when you meet him in real life. Olivia, who is 5ft 4in to Mark's 6ft 6in, says: 'Who would have thought Mark 'The Beast' Labbett would be mates with Olivia from Love Island? You couldn't write it. But when he first entered the show, I was his first interaction and we hit it off. 'As soon as he walked in, I fell in love with him. 'He is just the sweetest, kindest . . . he's so tall but he's a teddy bear. He's so thoughtful. He's a puppy rather than a beast. 'There's so many elements to Mark that people will watch and just fall in love with. 'That is the beauty of this show — you get to see people out of their natural habitat. You get to see Mark dating, which you'd never get to see on The Chase.' The quizzer has shed TEN STONE over the past few years, as part of a lifestyle overhaul — and reckons this has made it easier attracting women. Talking about his weight loss, he says: 'It puts a spring in your step, for sure. It helps confidence. As a result, I can chat to just about anyone. 'I had what I called the four-foot rule when at my heaviest, in that no pretty girl would want to let you within four feet of her. It meant you never got really close to pretty people because on the outside looking in, it wasn't good. 'The difference now, compared to over the years . . . you're far more confident of making small talk with people and feeling comfortable in just about anybody's company.' All those hours in the gym have been worth it, then, Mark. EXCL The Chase's Mark Labbett reveals he was forced to quit date after shock health scare DONNA: MY DATE WAS ONE BIG CON COMIC Donna Preston reveals her love life hasn't been a barrel of laughs – she once unwittingly dated a murderer. The Celebrity Big Brother housemate went on a date with a man she had met online and thought it was going well, until he ghosted her. 7 Donna Preston reveals her love life hasn't been a barrel of laughs – she once unwittingly dated a murderer Credit: Channel4 She later discovered why – he had been jailed. Donna said: 'My dating experience has been quite problematic. I went on a date with a murderer. That was the first time I experienced dating apps. I was like, 'Oh, great, I've got a match, let's go on a date with him tonight'. So I ended up meeting him. 'We had a couple of drinks and I couldn't meet him the week after, and then didn't hear from him again. 'He ended up being in the newspaper. 'I opened it and there was his face. He's in prison, he's a murderer. I got a lucky escape.' Not wrong there. PERHAPS NOT LAST NOEL . . ITV may have halted Noel Edmonds' latest comeback but his Kiwi Adventure series could be revived elsewhere. I revealed last week the former Deal Or No Deal host's three-parter about his life in New Zealand, which aired in June, would not be renewed. 7 Noel Edmonds' latest comeback may have been halted by ITV but his Kiwi Adventure series could be revived elsewhere Credit: Instagram But rival streamers may yet take over the show. A TV insider said: 'ITV may have opted against making more series but there's certainly interest from other streamers. 'They believe Noel's show has plenty more to offer and there's every chance it may be resurrected.' His River Haven estate has also been hit by flooding in recent months, forcing him to close his pub, vineyard and wellness centre. Viewers who watched the series – still streaming on ITVX – saw Noel and wife Liz turn their estate into a popular attraction in their community. Hopefully it's not the last we hear from them. FAIERS PLAY IT'S 15 years since sisters Sam and Billie Faiers found fame on Towie, and both have had multiple spin-off series for ITV2. Now they're back on the channel for Sam & Billie: Sister Act, which begins later this month. 7 Sisters Sam and Billie Faiers found fame on Towie 15 years ago Credit: Getty Sam says: 'We live only an hour away from each other, but having six children between us and being super busy, everything we do, we don't see each other that much. But since we've been filming again, we've become closer as sisters.' Billie teased there are highs and lows in the run, adding: 'We film it all, that's what everyone likes. You don't want to hide things, you can't polish everything, there's the bad stuff and the tears.' KERRY'S FAN OF ACTING KERRY KATONA dreams of becoming an actress – but fears that her wild past has made her unemployable. The former Atomic Kitten singer also believes her OnlyFans side hustle hasn't done her any favours when it comes to impressing casting agents. 7 Kerry Katona dreams of becoming an actress – but fears that her wild past has made her unemployable Credit: Channel4 But there's no chance she's going to pack in her X-rated antics on the saucy platform, as she makes too much cash. Kerry says: 'I'm a fantastic actress. That is something I really enjoy, is acting. 'But unfortunately, my name holds me back in the casting world in England. 'I don't even know if it's the OnlyFans, but I'll never give that up as long as I'm making the money I'm making. 'Why would I? 'I'm selling a fantasy. That's all I'm doing. I'll keep doing that before I'm tripping on me nipples . . . which I already am!' Hollywood doesn't know what it is missing.
