Love Island’s Demi Jones breaks down in tears after finding ‘a lump doctors think could be cancer’

LOVE Island's Demi Jones broke down in tears today as she revealed she's found a lump - and doctors think it could be cancer.

The 22-year-old reality star said she was in shock after being told she faces emergency surgery to cut it out.

Crying in her car after leaving her hospital appointment, Demi told fans medics warned it could be thyroid cancer. 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."

Trying to calm herself down, Demi added: "I'm worried, but I'm sure it will be fine. 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. I'm just a bit shocked at the moment. I'll be ok, I'll get it removed and I should be fine."

The redhead beauty from Portsmouth found fame on Love Island's first winter series in January 2020.

She was coupled up with Luke Mabbott before lockdown forced them apart as they struggled with a long distance relationship.

After going to get her lump checked out six months ago, Demi claims had to push to get an appointment before being delivered the devastating news.

She added: "Please don't put off getting lumps checked. If appointments keep getting cancelled then you need to chase it up.

"I was supposed to have this appointment six months ago.

"At my scan they said 'everything looks fine' and went to send me on my way.

"I challenged it and asked if they could do more, in which they said 'oh well we can test the fluid if you want us to?'

"Thank god I asked as it was the fluid that came back potentially cancerous.

"Always push!'
