Who is Demi Jones?
Demi Jones was just 21 years old when she entered the Winter Love Island villa in 2020.
At the time, Demi was a student pursuing a degree in archaeology and history at the University of Winchester.
Despite not finding love on the show, she went on to become a full-time social media influencer and worked with huge brands such as SHEIN, Missguided and Project Lip.
In 2021, the star revealed that she had been diagnosed with thyroid cancer.

After ignoring a lump in her neck, the TV star went to get it checked out and in May was told she had cancer and would need surgery to remove not only the tumour but the entirety of her thyroid.
Demi kept her fans up to date with her diagnosis and revealed that the cancer treatment left her feeling "tired all the time".
But in December 2021, she was given the all-clear and told fans: "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.
