After her time on the show came to an end, Yasmin ditched the glamorous ball gowns for some garden gloves and a rake.
Yasmin is now working as a gardener at a plant nursery in South West Dublin.
She has shown snippets of the overgrown plot with her fans on social media and said she has a "vision" for the soon-to-be allotment area.

Speaking about how her life has been lately, Yasmin told The Irish Sun: "I'm good. Relaxed, chilling, taking up a new career in gardening, doing things that I like to do.
She added: "I just love being outside, I love nature.
"At the moment I'm working in a nursery, a big apartment nursery. I just love it, it just makes me feel so free and connected to my side of the world."
Yasmin began working at the plant nursery in March and admitted: "I've no idea what I'm going to grow but that's the fun of it."

She "officially broke ground" on March 14 as she scraped back the top layer to expose the soil.
Yasmin shares updates on the process over on her gardening Instagram page, @Get.In.The.Garden.

And while it seems like Yasmin already has her hands full - she is also still pursuing her acting career.
She had her acting debut in RTE's crime drama Kin when she broke out on screens in 2021 playing Nikita Murphy, the partner of gang enforcer Eric 'Viking' Kinsella, played by Sam Keeley.
Yasmin most recently worked on a new Channel 5 series, The Puzzle Lady, which was filmed in Belfast and is coming out next month.
The series, based on the best-selling books by American author Parnell Hall, follows a strange murder investigation in Bakerbury.

Yasmin revealed: "I play an English solicitor, so I'm the complete opposite to Nikita."
When asked how she got on speaking with an English accent, Yasmin said: "Oh my God! I remember the first day I went in and I was like, 'Um, was that okay?', he did the first scene and he was like, 'Yeah, no, it's fine'.
"And then he was like, 'You can just do a Dublin accent if you want'. I was like, 'No, no, I'm going to stick with an English accent'.
"Turns out the person that was playing alongside me was also from Dublin and he had to put on an English accent.
"So in the end, probably both would have been from Dublin!"
Actress Phyllis Logan; best known for playing Mrs Hughes in the award-winning television series Downton Abbey, plays the titular role of Cora Felton in the drama.
