Talking about her Love Island journey like second time round, Demi told MailOnline: ‘It was incredible. I keep saying it was just like a wild ride.
‘Don’t get me wrong, it was very short and sweet, but I had the best time in that one week, so much happened. It was like a rollercoaster of emotion.
In the villa, Demi found herself in a love triangle with Luis Morrison and Kaz Kamwi, and eventually came out on top, though she and Luis were promptly booted off.

Of her Love Island journey like second time round, Demi said: ‘It was incredible. I keep saying it was just like a wild ride … it was very short and sweet, but I had the best time in that one week’
At a Vanderpump Rules x Hayu event, Demi said: ‘I lost three stone in a year. Just was going to the gym. Obviously, I put on quite a lot of weight after my cancer treatment.
‘I am normally a size 8 and then I went up to a size 12, so I spent last year gym-ing and calorie deficit over a period of about a year, and just doing it healthily.
‘But since being on Love Island, I’ve lost even more. I don’t know how, I think there was so much drama happening, that I was just eating chicken and rice every day.
‘Normally I’m sat there with my crisps and chocolate, but there was too many chats going on,’ Demi laughed.
She continued: ‘I lost five pounds – I didn’t even mean to, I came out and I was like: “What the hell?” I was only in there for eight days. I’m a size 8 now.
Demi added: ‘I was in there for eight days in total, whereas last time I reached all the way to the final, but I was lucky, at least I went out on a shock dumping, rather being voted out by the public so it was nice.’
When asked how things were going with herself and Luis, Demi replied: ‘They’re really good. He’s such a lovely boy.
She continued: ‘I’ve come out, and don’t get me wrong it’s been very intense with all the press surrounding Luis [he’s accused of oweing thousands in child support] but I’m just judging him on how he’s been with me.

‘He’s been lovely towards me, but I’m very much single – I’ve only known the boy three weeks (laughs) So we’ll just see how it goes, but I’m very single.
Demi continued: ‘He’s in Manchester and I’m in Portsmouth so it’s quite far away, and that’s a factor but we’ll just have to see what happens.
‘We didn’t really go on a date but, to be fair, he came down on Sunday night and we recorded the Love Island Podcast together. We had a few drinks afterwards so it was nice, but we haven’t had a proper date yet.
Demi revealed she is still watching the series, saying: ‘It’s so weird to know that you’re watching your besties on TV. Especially the bed you slept in, watching that – it’s so strange. I’m literally like, that’s my bed, and that’s my spot.
‘There’s not one particular couple [I can see winning] because they’re not loved up yet, are they?
‘I love Anton – he was incredible. He looked after all us girls in there, so I want him to do really well, and Hannah.
Again, she was incredible – she was such a girls’ girl, and we were always having giggles at nighttime, so hopefully separately they find people that they really like and they go the distance.’
Demi admitted: ‘There’s so much pressure in that villa – you put pressure on yourself anyway, just being in the public eye, and on Love Island and all the girls line up, and they’ve got their abs and they all look incredible, but I felt so relaxed because in there because firstly I’m just me and I’ve come a long way so I’m proud of myself.

‘And also I want girls to look and feel “I don’t have to a size six”, and I know I lost weight while I was away, but I want girls to embrace their natural beauty, and also us girls always helped each other out in there.
‘Whenever we were having a bad day or we didn’t like how we looked, we were like, “You look beautiful!”‘
Demi revealed her thyroid cancer battle in 2021. Now she says: ‘I’ve been cancer-free for about three years now, so I just have regular check-ups, but feel good. I’m in remission.’
