Love Island's Demi Jones dishes on 'stuck up' co-stars and reveals the heartbreaking reason she turned down a return to All Stars
Love Island star Demi Jones has opened up about 'fake' co-stars and why she turned down coming back to the series this year. 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.'

Love Island star says Meg and Dejon ‘won't last' on the outside as she issues stern warning
A FORMER Love Island star has claimed that Meg and Dejon 'won't last' on the outside, while saying Meg 'needs to be strong.' Demi Jones, 27, rose to fame on the hit dating show back in 2020 and she's shared her thoughts on the only exclusive couple in the villa - Meg and Dejon. 4 4 The pair have had quite a turbulent relationship on the show so far, but recently put the past behind them and became girlfriend and boyfriend. But Demi isn't sure the relationship will last once they leave the villa. During a fan Q&A, the Love Island beauty was asked: 'Do you think Meg & Dejon will last on the outside?' She responded: 'Sorry I don't think so,' and over a photo of the couple on the TV, she continued to write: 'Icl the minute Dejon's going to parties/ events/ PA's in the clubs with no TV cameras… 'Boys will be boys, it happens every year. Meg needs to be strong when they get back.' Viewers have found themselves increasingly frustrated with Dejon and Meg's behaviour on the show. And even more so after the recent kissing challenge, which saw Love Island fans brand Dejon as 'rude' for the way he spoke to the girls. Dejon was far from engaged with the game - as he brutally dished out low scores and harsh comments. Then, later in the episode, Yasmin tried to pull Dejon for a chat to address his behaviour in the challenge, but was ultimately coldly rebuffed. Love Island stars slam Dejon over 'worst exclusive proposal in show history' Horrified fans are now begging for Dejon and Meg, who are coupled up and exclusive, to be booted off the show. On social media, one person penned: 'They just ruin the vibe of the villa. It's more than just the kissing challenge. He thinks he's sooooo amazing. Shutting that convo down with Yasmin was crazy, he could have shown some humility and accepted he went a bit far.' Another person wrote: 'No chemistry whatsoever. Horrible fake couple. Get them out.' And a third penned: 'Awful couple. They need to go as soon as possible.' Someone else echoed: 'The way Meg cries about Dejon makes it seem real to me. Dejon on the other hand, wants that money so BAD AND I WANT HIS PLAN TO BE FOILED.' A lot of fans are under the impression that Dejon is doing all he can to make it to the final, and have speculated that he and Meg are just in it for the money.

Love Islander opens up on diagnosis after brushing off key symptom
Demi's life turned upside down in 2021, when doctors discovered she had thyroid cancer only a year after she starred on Love Island Demi Jones has spoken out about the main symptoms of thyroid cancer, four years after her own battle with the disease. The Love Islander's life turned upside down in 2021 when doctors found a cancerous lump in her neck. After two major surgeries and radioiodine therapy, Demi was fortunately given the all-clear that same year in December. Still, she reflected on the shock of discovering she had cancer after initially dismissing the malignant lump for some time. "I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer age 22, and this is my story," she said in a fresh Instagram post with beauty retailer, Boots. "Thyroid cancer is when abnormal cells in the thyroid gland start to divide and grow in an uncontrolled way. "Symptoms of thyroid cancer include hoarseness of the voice, a sore throat, difficulty swallowing and a lump. But, for me personally, I just had a lump on the side of my neck. I first discovered my lump back in 2019 when I was at uni, but I was too busy having fun. "I didn't take it seriously enough. It wasn't until I had messages from strangers and my followers telling me that they could see this lump on my neck, it was that [which] then pushed me to get a doctor's appointment." Demi, 27, explained that doctors initially performed an ultrasound and a blood test before draining some of the lump's fluid. Two weeks later, she was then called back and urged to go for surgery 'almost immediately'. "At this point, I felt really uncertain. I went straight into surgery where they removed half of my thyroid and the lump to test if it was cancerous," she continued. "A couple of weeks later, the doctor called me in. As soon as they said the word 'cancer', I just went into shock. So, I then had to go back in for a second surgery where they removed the rest of my thyroid." Although it's now been four years since Demi's cancer battle, the star said she continues to wear her scar 'very proudly' and is still keen to raise awareness of the disease. In a final plea to fans, she urged: "If you think you have any symptoms of thyroid cancer, please speak to your GP." Other symptoms of thyroid cancer Besides the three key red flags outlined by Demi, the NHS also acknowledges several other common symptoms of thyroid cancer. These may include: Difficulty swallowing or breathing Pain in the front of the neck/feeling like something is pushing against it Red face/flushing Softer poos or diarrhoea Weight loss Persistent coughing However, current guidance warns: "These symptoms are very common and can be caused by many different conditions. Having them does not definitely mean you have thyroid cancer. But it's important to get them checked by a GP. "This is because if they're caused by cancer, finding it early may mean it's easier to treat."
