Love Island: Demi Jones announces she’s cancer-free

Winter Love Island star Demi Jones took to Instagram this week to share the brilliant news that her treatment for thyroid cancer has been successful. Demi was initially diagnosed with thyroid cancer in May after having surgery to remove a lump on her thyroid. She has since undergone radiation treatment.

I’M CANCER FREE!!!!

Demi was showered with love in the comments section from a host of reality stars and fellow former Islanders, including Anna Vakili, Eva Zapico, Sophie Piper and villa bestie Shaughna Phillips. She also received support from her Strictly The Real Full Monty co-stars Christine McGuinness and Ashley Banjo.
