After a number of surgeries, Demi revealed that she was cancer free back in December 2021.
The reality star decided to get a tattoo while out in Spain to celebrate beating thyroid cancer.
Sharing a snap of the tiny fine line ink on her ankle, Demi captioned the post: “Excuse the tan, but I got a little [butterfly emoji] on my ankle to represent my Thyroid Cancer.”
Thyroid cancer develops in your thyroid gland, which is located in your neck, and is usually noticed when a lump forms there.
The cells within the thyroid grow too quickly and create a lump.
There are four types which include: papillary carcinoma, follicular carcinoma, medullary thyroid carcinoma, anaplastic thyroid carcinoma.
Demi, who shot to fame on Love Island at the beginning of 2020, first noticed the lump in 2019.
Demi went to get lump checked in 2020.

But she was only diagnosed following months of delayed appointments due to the pandemic and after pushing doctors for further tests.
In April 2021 April broke down in tears as she revealed that she had found a lump, which had to be removed so check if it was cancerous.
It was later confirmed that it was cancer – and has had the cancer and her thyroid removed.
Since then she has shared her journey with fans and opened up about the difficulties she has faced with her follow up treatment.
Demi explained that it has left feeling “tired all the time”,
Most recently she told The Sun that she’s gained weight and suffered from horrific mood swings since beating thyroid cancer.
She told us: “I got the all-clear before Christmas…
“I think I’m just learning to adapt with my body and the hormones.
“I’ve got really bad mood swings, my weight is fluctuating, I’m trying to balance it.”
“The Full Monty was huge because everyone had gone through a similar thing or knew someone and it was really reassuring.”
