Love Island's Demi Jones on being diagnosed with thyroid cancer

FOR a girl who has always taken pride in her appearance, the vivid, two-inch scar on the front of Love Islander Demi Jones’s neck has taken some getting used to.

“At first I felt really self- conscious about it,” she confides. “But then my nan told me to stop worrying about it. It’s a small price to pay for still being here.”

Demi, a contestant in last year’s Love Island, underwent surgery a month ago to remove a golf-ball sized tumour on her thyroid gland after being told the devastating news that she had thyroid cancer.

Further painful surgery to remove her entire thyroid lies ahead, followed by radioactive iodine treatment to destroy any remaining cancer cells.

It is an emotional rollercoaster for Demi, 22, who had been told the lump was harmless.

She was only diagnosed following months of delayed appointments due to the pandemic and after pushing doctors for further tests.
