Demi has been keeping fans in the loop since having surgery to remove the golf ball sized lump in her thyroid last month.
Alongside a picture of a leaflet on understanding thyroid cancer, she penned: ‘Hi guys, I got my results today and unfortunately I have thyroid cancer. The tumour has been removed but I’m now due to have more surgery to remove the rest of my thyroid.’
Demi vowed to ‘stay positive’ in the wake of the diagnosis as she told fans she is a ‘strong girl’.

She continued: ‘I’m staying very positive and I’m a strong girl so I’ll be fine, thank you for your love and support always. I’ll bounce back stronger.’
Demi previously revealed that she had to push to get her lump operated on after an initial scan told her everything was ‘fine’.
However, her father previously battled cancer as a result of a misdiagnosed lump, which urged her to ask for more tests to be done.

Demi told The Sun last week: ‘When I went back for my scan and they scanned me, they said it all looks good. But unfortunately my dad’s got cancer and that came through a lump that was misdiagnosed. So I knew to push.
‘I asked if there was anymore they could do, any other scanning and they were like “we could drain some fluid for you and see what that comes back like.”‘
Demi first noticed the lump in January 2019 but put off getting it checked as she was in her final year of university.

The following year she entered Love Island and told Metro that it ‘all happened so quickly’ but she noticed the lump had grown bigger over the past year.
She had an initial scan days before entering the Love Island villa in January 2020 which gave her the all-clear, but pushed for another check this year after noticing the lump had grown.
After revealing her cancer diagnosis, Demi received an outpouring of support from her friends and family, including Love Island co-star Shaughna Phillips.

‘I love you soooo much! And I am SO lucky to have you in my life @demijones1’
Demi replied: ‘I’m literally crying. I love you so much, so grateful to have you in my life’, adding on her story, ‘I’m surrounded with so much love it hurts’.
Update: Alongside a picture of a leaflet on understanding thyroid cancer, she revealed: ‘the tumour has been removed but I’m now due to have more surgery’
Last month, Demi told fans doctors feared the lump in her neck could be cancerous and she would be undergoing surgery to remove it.
After the revelation she thanked fans and said she was ‘overwhelmed with support’ and said she had received ‘thousands of kind messages’.
She penned: ‘I’m so overwhelmed with support. I had thousands of kind messages yesterday.’
Signing off her post on a happy note, Demi added: ‘I feel positive today. Thank you.’
A day earlier, Demi emotionally shared the news with her followers on her Instagram Stories after receiving some test results.

Demi wiped away tears as she revealed she would have the lump removed in the next few weeks so that medics could determine whether it is cancerous.
Sat in her car after receiving the results, Demi told fans: ‘I went to get my results today for my lump. And they think it could be cancerous so I have to have it operated on and removed in the next couple of weeks.
‘Nothing is for certain but I’m really worried. I’m sure it’ll be fine. It’s a shock because you don’t think, I was sat there in this waiting room and it was full of old people and I was the only young one there. I thought I’m so young for god’s sake.
‘I know loads of women go through this,I’ll be fine. It might not even be cancer but they’ve got to cut it out to find out. I’m shocked at the moment.
‘I’ll be ok, when I get it removed it’ll be fine.’
Demi then shared a post which encouraged her followers to get any lumps checked if they are worried.
She wrote: ‘Please don’t put off getting lumps checked, if appointments keep getting cancelled then you need to chase it up. I was supposed to have this appointment six months ago.
‘At my scan they said ‘everything looks fine’ and went to send me on my way. I challenged it and asked if they could do more, in which they said ‘oh well we can test the fluid if you want us to?’
‘Thank god I asked as it was the fluid that can be potentially cancerous. Always push!’
‘When I came round I read through all my messages, honestly it made me cry because so many people had messaged, saying if it wasn’t for me they wouldn’t have made their doctor’s appointment. I was so emotional.
‘I had so many young girls approaching me saying they’ve found lumps and they don’t know what to do and I’ve even had fellow celebrities reach out to me and say they’ve found lumps and they’re nervous.
‘I really hope its raised awareness for people to check their lumps regardless of their age and push for appointments because unfortunately you have to do that due to the pandemic and NHS being under pressure.’
