Demi Jones looks glamorous in a sheer mini-dress as she enjoys night out amid thyroid cancer battle

Demi Jones looked glamorous on Friday when she enjoyed a night out in London after recently undergoing surgery to remove a cancerous thyroid tumour.

The reality star, 22, who now has a scar on her neck following the operation, put on a sensational display in a sheer mini-dress that featured floral patterning, teaming her frock with a pair of neon orange wraparound heels.

With her glossy hair swept up into a high ponytail, Demi stepped out wearing a full face of glam.

The TV personality kept her belongings safe in a chic handbag worn on her right shoulder and carried her phone in her hand as she made her way through the capital.

Accessorising with a show-stopping pair of hoop earrings, Demi was in high spirits as she went about her night with friends.

She was also sporting an immaculate white pedicure.

Demi's outing comes after she revealed she was worried about having a permanent scar on her neck following surgery after being diagnosed with thyroid cancer.

The Love Island star underwent an operation last month to remove a tumour from her thyroid gland, admitting she was 'incredibly anxious' about it.

Speaking to The Sun, Demi said she has been contacted by young girls who have told her it's nice to see someone in the public eye not afraid to show their scar.

She said: 'I was incredibly anxious as I'd never had any kind of surgery before, and while it sounds silly, I was worried about the scar on my neck.

'Now I've decided to really own it because I've had a few young girls message me who have had thyroid cancer saying it's been nice to see someone with a scar.'

Demi still has to undergo further treatment to destroy any remaining cancer cells.

It comes after Demi shared her 'anger' after six hospital appointments were delayed due to the Covid pandemic before she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.

The TV star said 'sobbed' to her mother after a consultant explained to her that they had to 'cut out' the golf ball-sized lump as 'quickly as possible' after she had previously been told it was 'completely clear'.

Demi said if she had listened to the doctors then she might not know she had cancer 'inside' her.

She added: 'I've felt scared and angry. I went for a coffee the other day with a friend and said, "Why me? I don't know anyone my age who has got cancer". But I'm lucky, my cancer is treatable.'

Thyroid cancer is a rare type of cancer that affects the thyroid gland, a small gland at the base of the neck that produces hormones.

Women are two to three times more likely to develop it than men.

Symptoms of thyroid cancer can include:

Around 9 in every 10 people are alive five years after diagnosis. Many of these are cured and will have a normal lifespan.
