A LOVE Island star has broken down in tears during a magical trip after her cancer battle.
Demi Jones, 23, could be seen taking in the fun atmosphere at Disneyland Paris, and she looked the part too with her hair swept back with a Mini Mouse headband on.

The reality star beauty filmed herself and wrote: “Disneyland today” with the iconic castle seen behind her.
Then, in a second clip, her pal filmed her breaking into tears as she took it all in and became overwhelmed with where she was.
Fanning her face, Demi said: “I don’t know why” when asked if she was crying.
Demi first noticed a lump when she was just 20 and dismissed it at the time as she was busy sitting her final year exams at university, and didn’t think for a minute it could be anything sinister.
She was eventually diagnosed in May 2021, having had the lump checked out at the insistence of her mum.
Covid regulations meant she was all alone and just 22 when the consultant dropped the bombshell that she had cancer in her neck and would need to have it cut out.
She underwent surgery to remove the cancerous lump, followed by a second thyroidectomy op to remove her entire thyroid.
Demi shot to fame when she made it to the final of winter Love Island in 2020 with Luke Mabbott.
The star has since discussed surgeon Costa Repanos, who was there for her, providing the emotional support she would have had from friends and family pre-pandemic.
Coining him as a “superhero” she said: “I can never do enough to thank Mr Repanos for saving my life, cutting cancer out of me and leaving me with this beautiful scar that I am proud to show off.
“I cannot thank the NHS enough for their kindness and warmth throughout one of the scariest times in my life.
“Because I was diagnosed and treated during lockdown, the entire thing was extremely isolating and I couldn’t have any of my family with me whenever I went into the hospital.
“They made me feel so at ease and comfortable even though I was going through something really traumatic.”
