Life and career

Demi Jones was born on 2 July 1998 in Portsmouth, Hampshire.[1] Prior to appearing on television, she studied history and archaeology at the University of Winchester and worked as a style advisor at a fashion boutique.[2] In January 2020, Jones entered the Love Island villa as a contestant on the sixth series. She entered as a "bombshell" on Day 16 alongside Wallace Wilson.[3] During the series, she was coupled up with Nas Majeed and Luke Mabbott, the latter of whom she reached final with and finished in third place.[4][5][6] They dated for three months after the series ended, however Jones confirmed that they had split during the COVID-19 pandemic.[7]

In May 2021, Jones announced that she had been diagnosed with thyroid cancer.[8] She had to undergo surgery to have her thyroid removed.[9] In December 2021, following her diagnosis, she took part in the ITV series Strictly The Real Full Monty in which a group of celebrities strip to raise awareness for cancer.[10] Later that month, Jones announced that she was "cancer free" and said that despite it being a "difficult year mentally and physically for [her] with [her] surgeries and treatment" [...] said she was "beyond grateful for everyone's kindness and support".[11][12] Queen Alexandra Hospital, where Jones received her cancer treatment revealed that following the announcement of Jones' diagnosis, cancer screenings had increased.[13] Former Hollyoaks actress Abi Phillips credited Jones' cancer journey for helping her discover her own diagnosis.[14]

In January 2024, Jones returned to Love Island four years after her original appearance to compete in the spin-off Love Island: All-Stars.[15][16] Jones entered the villa as an original islander on Day 1.[17]
