Love Island’s Demi Jones glams up for night on the town with co-stars Jess and Eve Gale after cancer diagnosis
LOVE Island star Demi Jones has glammed up for a night on the town with co-stars Jess and Eva Gale after she was diagnosed with cancer.
The 22-year-old, who revealed she was battling thyroid cancer last week, looked unfased by the devastating news as she had dinner with friends.
Smiling wide for the camera, reality star Demi cosied up to Eva, 20, at swanky London restaurant 100 Wardour Street for a midweek evening out.
Dressed in a turtle-neck snakeskin dress, with her long brunette locks trailing over her chest, the Love Island 2020 contestant held up a cocktail.
Demi looked glamorous with a full face of make-up, including false lashes and a nude lipstick - as well as long acrylic French-tipped nails.
She finalised her look with orange heels with wrap-around ties and a nude leather bag with a gold chain strap.
Next to her, Eva was dressed in a cream leather crop top, keeping her blonde hair straight and also glamming up with a face of make-up.
Earlier this week, Demi revealed her heartbreak as "nasty" trolls claimed she LIED about her thyroid cancer diagnosis.
She appeared on Good Morning Britain today to warn others after a lump in her throat went undiagnosed for two years.
During her emotional interview, the reality star admitted she's been the victim of online abuse about her cancer as trolls said she was faking it.
She told hosts Susanna Reid and Bill Turnbull: "I've had nasty comments from people saying I'm lying, and 'she's this and she's that'.
"I saw it on my Instagram and thought 'that's ridiculous', but unfortunately there are people out there like that.
"I don't respond to trolling on social media. It's not worth my time. I am really strong about it, I've always been like that, but it makes me really sad.
"I'm not lying about this or what I'm doing about it at all. It's a really serious thing and I don't want to be going through this."
Demi said she is speaking out about her thyroid cancer battle to help others push for testing after it was missed by medics before she went on Love Island in January 2020.
After pestering doctors to investigate further, she was given the devastating news she's been living with thyroid cancer "for years".
Demi added: "If I could save one person's life, or get young girls to check their lumps then that's just amazing to me."
Thyroid cancer develops in your thyroid gland, which is located in your neck, and is usually noticed when a lump forms there.
