Love Island’s Samie Elishi looks incredible on boozy day out with Claudia Forgarty amid cancer scare

LOVE Island star Samie Elishi looked chic in a black crop top amid her cancer scare.

Samie, 23, was seen putting on a brave face as she stepped out with best pal Claudia Fogarty for a boozy afternoon on Sunday.

The reality star revealed on Friday that she had a thyroid biopsy after discovering a lump on her neck.

Samie - who split from co-star boyfriend Tom Clare this month - looked glamourous in a black maxi skirt and a matching one-shoulder crop top.

The brunette beauty showed off her toned abs in the sexy ensemble.

She accessorised her look with a pair of black strappy heels and a rainbow colour clutch bag.

Samie styled her tresses in loose waves and opted for a full face of glam make-up with big lashes and a brown lip.

The pair was seen downing shots and singing along to hit ballads.

Earlier today Samie showed fans her painful-looking bruise after undergoing tests to determine if she has cancer.

She was told by doctors she's grade three - and will have to have surgery in four to six weeks to have half of her thyroid removed, as well as the lump.

They will then test to see if it's cancer, and if it is, she will have to have a second surgery to have the other half removed.

Following her biopsy, Samie shared a picture of the bruising saying: "Thyroid update - bruise from the biopsy is really coming out now.

"Still waiting for a surgery date."

Samie's health concerns were discovered after Love Island viewers pointed out her lump.

The former estate agent co-ordinator decided to go get it checked and has had ongoing tests.

Fighting back the tears as she told fans about the situation, Samie said: "Mine was a 'grey area' so they couldn't tell - so they're not sure. They weren't sure if it is cancerous if it's not."

She added: "But obviously it is still really scary. I'm a young girl. I'm realising how common it is."

Samie placed third on the hit-ITV dating programme with Tom Clare, 23, behind winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan and runners-up Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins.

The pair split this week after struggling to make their relationship work outside of the villa.
