Demi Jones, the former Love Island star, has been given the all-clear after a battle with thyroid cancer. In May 2021 Demi revealed that she had been diagnosed and had undergone two surgeries to remove a lump from her neck.
Thankfully, after a long and difficult journey, Demi was told three weeks ago that she is now free from the illness. She no longer needs to go for monthly check-ups at the hospital.
In an interview with the Mail Online, Demi shared: “I feel very liberated this year and can get back to being me! I think being an islander there’s a lot of pressure to look a certain way, especially coming off the show I was always a curvy girl and there’s always that pressure to look how you do on Instagram. Especially when I went through my thyroid cancer. I got through it and I’m on the other side, I felt so ready to take on the world again but I had put on about two stone so my clothes weren’t fitting. That’s why I turned to my beauty, it obviously comes from within but it made me feel good about myself.”
Demi announced she was free from cancer in December 2021. She shared a photo of herself standing outside the Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth to mark the occasion. She said: “I’M CANCER FREE!!!! I did it! I got my full body scan results back and there’s not a single cancer cell left in my body. It’s been such a difficult year mentally and physically for me with my surgeries and treatment but I’m beyond grateful for everyone’s kindness and support over this past year. I will continue to be an advocate for cancer awareness and all my love and strength goes out to those who continue to fight this awful disease, here’s to a healthy and happy 2022.”
Demi shot to fame on Love Island in 2020, entering the villa on day 16 and making it all the way to the final. She eventually left the ITV2 dating show in third place alongside Luke Mabbott. They have since split.
