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.

"It’s been such a difficult year mentally and physically for me with my surgeries and treatment but I’m beyond grateful for everyone’s kindness and support over this past year.

"I will continue to be an advocate for cancer awareness and all my love and strength goes out to those who continue to fight this awful disease, here’s to a healthy and happy 2022."

Who has Demi Jones dated?

On Love Island, Demi Jones coupled up with Nas Majeed at first, but was left heartbroken when he decided to couple up with Casa Amor contestant Eva Zapico instead.

Demi then coupled up with latecomer Luke Mabbott, who she remained with until the end of the show.

However, their romance didn't last long and they split just weeks after leaving the villa.

He's since got engaged to 2019 Love Island star Lucie Donlan.

In 2021, Demi was then linked to music boss Miami, but the romance was short-lived as they went their separate ways in April 2022.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun at the No7 Pro Derm Scan launch party, Demi said: "I am single. We did split unfortunately."

What other TV shows has Demi Jones starred in?

Demi began her TV career as a contestant on the 2020 series of Love Island, set in South Africa.

She eventually came third alongside her now-ex-boyfriend Luke Mabbott.

Since then, Demi's also appeared on the show's spin-off, AfterSun, and in Stand Up To Cancer's campaign.

In 2021, the star stripped off to raise awareness of cancer symptoms on Strictly The Real Full Monty.

On January 7, 2024, it was announced that Demi will appear on the new All Stars spin-off version of Love Island.

When asked why she decided to return to the show, she said: "I am returning to the Love Island Villa because I am ready again to find love.

"I lost a lot of confidence with my health issues over the last couple of years but I’ve been smashing the gym this year, finding my confidence again and I’ve got it back.

"So, let’s find a man!"
