ITV Love Island's Demi Jones' brave cancer journey including first symptom

Demi Jones first appeared on Love Island in 2020, and now in a bid to find love has returned to the villa for the ITV spin off show, Love Island: All Stars.The 25-year-old was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in May 2021 and has since become a champion for cancer awareness.Despite being given the all-clear almost two years ago, Demi still regularly attends check-ups and plans to use her time in the villa to raise awareness of the disease - proudly displaying her scars while in her bikini, the Mirror reports.Speaking about her return, Demi said: "I'm actually so grateful I'm getting this experience again.

Fortunately, medics were able to successfully remove the lump, which was the size of a golf ball, and then she undertook radiotherapy.The TV star and influencer has shared her brave cancer journey both on social media and in interviews.During a chat with fellow Islander Shaughna Phillips for Cancer Research's Play Your Part campaign, Demi confessed: 'I was so shocked when I was diagnosed with cancer and my first thoughts were "Is this going to kill me?

Am I going to be really poorly?"'She added: "Thanks to research, I have treatment options and am doing really well. Even though I've got this scar,
