Love Island star Demi Jones has revealed that she has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
In April, the 22-year-old actress said that she had a “potentially cancerous” lump removed from her neck while recovering in hospital.
However, Jones has recently opened up to fans about her diagnosis through her Instagram Stories.
She told fans, “Hi guys, I got my results today and unfortunately I have thyroid cancer. The tumor has been removed but I’m now due to have more surgery to remove the rest of my thyroid.”
“I’m staying very positive and I’m a strong girl so I’ll be fine, thank you for your love and support always,” she added. “I’ll bounce back stronger. Check your lumps.”
In late April, she shared a video following her surgery in a hospital. At the time, she posted a video and wrote, “Face and neck really swollen but the surgery went really well. I literally had a lump the size of a golf ball on my Thyroid. The NHS staff at the QA Portsmouth have been unbelievable. And thank you for all your messages.”
Before that, Jones broke down in tears while addressing fans after getting her lump checked out months previous but her appointments were canceled.
In early April, she said, “I went to go get the results today for my lump and they think it could be cancerous. I’ve got to go have it operated and removed.”
“I’m worried, but I’m sure it will be fine,” she continued. “It’s just a shock because you just don’t think. I was sat there in the waiting room and it was full of old people and I was the only young one there. I know loads of women go through this so I’ll be fine. It might not even be cancerous.”
“They’ve got to cut it out to be sure,” Jones added. “I’m just a bit shocked at the moment. I’ll be ok, I’ll get it removed and I should be fine.” The story was published in Manchester Evening News.
