Love Island's Demi Jones dishes on 'stuck up' co-stars and reveals the heartbreaking reason she turned down a return to All Stars
The 27-year-old TV personality - who hails from Portsmouth - appeared on the Spill With Will podcast to chat all things post-show, her cancer experience and fake love.
As the duo got into a conversation about the industry and what it's really like, Demi dished the dirt on previous stars she has met, and exactly what they're like when the cameras aren't rolling.
The former style advisor had been to an influencer party the night before, which led her onto discussing events and bumping into Love Island stars old and new.
She said to the host: 'Obviously you'll know Will, when you go to events and meet certain Islanders, they're so stuck up their own a**e.'
In agreement, referencing a viral TikTok sound, he added: 'But I just also think with some of them as well like, do you know you have 30 minutes? With this attitude you have 30 minutes.'
Demi continued: 'But babes I'm not going to see you in six months' time, so let's just be nice now.'
Will shared how he think some of the cast who have a very short cameo on the reality series 'have the biggest egos'.
'It's so true!' he said, adding: 'People that have been on the show for like five minutes will have the biggest egos.'
Demi laughed back: 'I agree, I agree!'
She then insisted you 'have to be nice to everyone as you genuinely don't know who you're talking to'.
Demi has also revealed she was in talks for another series of the spin-off show All Stars this year.
She said producers asked her to come back as a bombshell, but she turned it down as she 'wasn't ready to get back in a bikini'.
'I was like, "Honey I'm not a size eight anymore. I'm sorry I'm not ready to get back in that bikini!"'
She then went on to discuss weight loss drug Ozempic with Will.
Demi admitted she would never do it, saying: 'I'm sorry this Ozempic, I can't. Everyone is popping out like a size four.
'Well, I feel like most of my friends are on Ozempic.'
She concluded: 'I feel like my body image, like dysmorphia has got worse since people are doing Ozempic and Mounjaro.'
Speaking about attending influencer parties, Demi then shared: 'I feel self-conscious now. I go to these parties and it has made me feel self-conscious.'
Will then asked if that's why she didn't want to do All Stars, to which Demi replied: 'Yeah I didn't do Love Island mainly because I wasn't, one mentality of going through it again, and I just could not get myself back in the bikini.'

Observer editor-in-chief James Harding says BBC should be 'put beyond reach of politicians'
The Observer's editor-in-chief has called for the BBC to be "put beyond the reach of politicians" - and has compared the fight for survival within television to the zombie fungus in The Last Of Us. Speaking to Sky News about his James MacTaggart Memorial Lecture at the Edinburgh TV Festival on Wednesday, James Harding said it "is not the golden age of TV, it's more like The Last Of Us… just trying to stay alive as the fungus of new things eats through all of us". The co-founder of Tortoise Media - which bought The Observer from the Scott Trust and Guardian Media Group in December - said he believes establishing the independence of the BBC is critical "if we want to build confidence in shared facts and respect for the truth". "At the moment politicians choose the chairman, they choose the licence fee, they have enormous influence over it," he said. "Let's face it, there's a suspicion that there's a certain worldview attached to the BBC. Let's make sure that it's obvious to people that actually different points of view are really welcome." 2:36 Mr Harding, who ran the BBC's news and current affairs programming from 2013 up until the beginning of 2018, said the government must consider separating itself from the institution. He explained: "When the government established the independence of the Bank of England in 1997, it put confidence in the central institution of the economy ahead of politics; the government today can and should do the same for the shared institution in our society by giving real independence to the BBC." The BBC has been criticised for a number of incidents in recent months, including breaching its own accuracy editorial guidelines and livestreaming the controversial Bob Vylan Glastonbury set, where there were chants of: "Death to the IDF [Israel Defence Forces]". Following the incident, Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said ministers expected "accountability at the highest levels" for the BBC's decision to screen the performance. In his lecture, Mr Harding said the BBC is "not institutionally antisemitic" and that: "Whatever your view of the hate speech versus freedom of speech issues, an overbearing government minister doesn't help anyone. "The hiring and firing of the editor-in-chief of the country's leading newsroom and cultural organisation should not be the job of a politician. It's chilling." Ahead of the BBC charter renewal in 2027, he said the corporation's "survival is at stake". He argued that the BBC chair and board of directors should be "chosen, not by the prime minister, but by the board itself and then, like other such organisations, with the approval of Ofcom. "The charter should be open-ended. And the licence fee - or any future funding arrangement - should not be decided behind closed doors by the culture secretary and the chancellor, but, as in Germany, set transparently and rationally by an independent commission that impartially advises government and is scrutinised by parliament." He also said the BBC should lead the way in striking deals with generative AI companies by taking advantage of the "meaningful pricing of its reliable, ceaselessly renewed library of content. 1:50 "That would help set the terms for other UK news and media companies that don't get a hearing from the new generation of tech giants," he said. Mr Harding suggested that the BBC should look to work with AI developers to provide a "BBC GPT" that could enable the public to utilise AI "without handing over every last detail of what's on their minds to US tech corporations that have proved obstinately unaccountable in the UK." He said it's "about more than the BBC, it's a national investment in our future that will come back to reap multi-platform rewards that an investment in no other UK organisation can."
