Demi Jones has told fans she feels ‘like a walking zombie’ after an ‘awful mistake’ with her medication. The former Love Islander, 27, mentioned she forgot to reorder her repeat prescription for Levothyroxine, a crucial medication often used to support patients after thyroid cancer treatment.

Demi’s admission comes just four years after doctors found a cancerous lump in her neck back in 2021. Fortunately, after two major surgeries and radioiodine therapy, she was given the all-clear that same year in December.

Even still, the reality star continues to speak out about her health journey and said the medication ordeal had left her quite ‘tearful’. “Thyroid girlies – I’ve made an awful mistake,” Demi wrote on her Instagram Story.

Before I ran out, I forgot to order my levothyroxine. I’ve been waiting for 10 days without any tablets and will finally have them delivered to my pharmacy. I’m so wiped out and teary that I can’t walk.

To avoid being like me, please order your repeat prescription right away. For the first time in four years since I’ve had cancer, I’ve run out of pills completely, and I’m never going to forget.

Demi later revealed that she had been flooded with kind and helpful messages from fans online despite the stressful situation. Demi had no idea about getting emergency Levothyroxine in many of these because many of them made it clear that you can get it in these dire circumstances.

In a separate Story, she continued: “Omg thank you for all your messages guys! I had no idea you can get emergency Levothyroxine if you completely run out and it’s urgent through NHS, so thank you!

I’ve had a few near misses with it over the past four years, but I wish they could have prescribed more than three months in a row because I think it all passes so quickly. especially if the medication is a daily lifetime. Although I’ll always be sure to stay up to date going forward, it’s always great to know and share! I’m so grateful.

After initially denying that the lump on her neck was anything serious, Demi was diagnosed with thyroid cancer at the age of 22. After online users and online strangers complained that something seemed odd, she only made the decision to see a doctor.

Before removing some fluid from the lump, the doctors first performed an ultrasound and a blood test. She was urged to go for surgery “almost immediately” two weeks later and called back.

“A couple of weeks later, the doctor called me in,” she said in a previous interview, according to the Mirror. “As soon as they said the word ‘cancer’, I just went into shock. So, I then had to go back in for a second surgery where they removed the rest of my thyroid.”

Demi’s cancer battle has passed away, but the actress said she still takes pride in wearing her scar and is still trying to raise awareness of the condition.

She also urged people to contact their doctors if they believe they have thyroid cancer symptoms.

Thyroid cancer potential signs

The NHS offers a wealth of information regarding thyroid cancer online. It states that common symptoms may include:

  • difficult breathing or swallowing
  • a loud voice
  • A lump in the lower, frontal region of the neck – it typically feels uncomfortable and gradually grows.
  • Pain in the neck’s front and the sensation of something pressing against it
  • Red face/flushing
  • Diarrhoea or softer poos
  • Losing weight
  • persistent coughing
  • A sore throat
Continue reading the article.

However, current advice cautions that “These symptoms are very common and can be brought on by a variety of conditions.” Doing so does not unquestionably indicate thyroid cancer. However, having them checked by a general practitioner is crucial.

Finding them early may make it easier to treat them because they may be caused by cancer.

Chloe Ayling’s secret life in Snowdonia after being accused of ‘faking kidnapping’

When she was lured to a fake modeling job in Milan, injected with ketamine, and bundled into a suitcase, Chloe Ayling’s life took a terrifying turn in 2017, but she was met with skepticism after sharing her account.

After sharing harrowing details of her abduction ordeal, a model underwent years of public skepticism and has since established herself in Snowdonia.

Chloe Ayling, 28, was heading to what she thought was a real modelling assignment in Milan in 2017 when she was injected with ketamine, bundled into a suitcase and left chained to furniture in a remote farmhouse. She was told she’d be auctioned on the dark web unless a ransom was paid.

Her captor, Łukasz Herba, was later convicted and sentenced to 16 years and nine months in prison. But despite sharing details of the horrific ordeal, Chloe was faced with public skepticism after some questioned whether she was complicit in the kidnap and it was all an elaborate publicity stunt.

Pictures of Chloe from Coulsdon, south London, lying unconscious in skimpy clothing were sent to her manager, along with a demand for £260,000.

She would be sold as a sex slave if the ransom wasn’t paid in a week. When her “buyers” were sick of her, she was also warned that she ran the risk of getting fed to tigers.

Although she was eventually released, Chloe was left devastated by accusations she had made up the entire story. She has since found solace in the mountains and lakes of the North Wales wilderness where she can enjoy horse-riding with barely a soul around, according to MailOnline.

Chloe was in the public eye for eight-years following the kidnapping, even appearing on Celebrity Big Brother in 2018 where she struck up a romance with Jermaine Pennant, who she later discovered was married.

This month Chloe had her say on a BBC documentary ‘Chloe Ayling: My Unbelievable Kidnapping’ and said her undiagnosed condition of autism is partly responsible for her unusual reaction.

Following the BBC dramatization of the story, Kidnapped, in 2024, the series was produced.

She arrived more than a year ago, and she seems to be quite a solitary figure when she’s up here, according to one of Chloe’s new neighbors.

She is quite reserved, polite, and respectful. Many residents of this area spend their summers there before moving out for the winter. Maybe this is just a summer vacation spot for her, or if she already has somewhere else in England.

She’s quite distinctive, so people recognized her quickly, but as far as I’m aware, no one has ever questioned her about how awful she must have been before.

She describes North Wales as a place of refuge, claiming that she enjoys horseback riding in the hills with little public interest and is drawn to its remote beauty.

“I started visiting North Wales a few years ago. In the BBC documentary, she remarked, “I just fell in love with it.”

Her relocation also makes her less vulnerable to the public’s scrutiny that predated her return to the UK. Chloe’s innocence sparked suspicion after her ordeal, and some critics questioned why she didn’t cry or appear emotional, and the relentless online abuse made healing harder.

When asked why she chose Snowdonia, she laughed and said, “I’m here because it’s so beautiful, but I like that no one knows where I live.”

Michelle Keegan appeared radiant on Instagram on Wednesday as she shared a tender moment with her daughter Palma, showing off her £1,200 iCandy pram.

The 38-year-old actress couldn’t hide her joy as she described enjoying a “special first summer with our girl” while pushing her five-month-old through the sunshine.

The former Coronation Street star, who shares little Palma with her husband Mark Wright, 38, looked effortlessly stylish in a crisp white crop top paired with classic blue denim jeans. She let her dark hair fall naturally around her shoulders, complementing her casual look with beige suede trainers and a chic pair of glasses.

Michelle soaked up every moment of motherhood while posing next to her lavish pram. A memorable first summer with our girl, @icandyworlduk, is the caption of the post.

Michelle and husband Mark’s daughter Palma shared some holiday photos with their family during a recent trip to Mallorca, which came after Michelle revealed her summer highlights.

Michelle and her daughter Palma welcomed back in March after spending a day at the beach with their husband, former The Only Way Is Essex star Mark. Fans were enthralled by the Netflix star’s bikini photo, despite Michelle’s post full of love-up shots of her and Mark and several glimpses into little Palma’s adorable fashion sense.

The stunning snap saw the Fool Me Once star pose in a leopard-print bikini and a brown suede cowboy hat as she snapped the photo in the mirror before heading off to the pool. Michelle’s adoring fans were especially mind-blown by the star’s gym-honed physique.

“OMG! Did you skip six months without having children? One fan gushed, “You look so incredible, Michelle.” Another phrase repeated, “Beautiful photos. You and your bikini body must be in order for me. Love it”.

What gorgeous photos, they added, another person added. How do you look so amazing with Palma?

Another fan of Michelle called it “The BODY in the bikini.” I’m actually shocked at how amazing you appear. And you look fantastic in motherhood.

The former Coronation Street star and her husband headed to the Balearic Islands for some summer sun with baby Palma for some rest and relaxation. Michelle shared a number of other images and captioned her post: “August holiday album”.

Luxury meals, idyllic sea views, and bikini photos were among the photos. Palma’s mother’s face is still visible on any public photos, despite the couple’s other photos.

Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan arrives at court after airport arrest over tweets

Graham Linehan, the co-creator of Father Ted, allegedly harassed and harmed transgender woman Sophia Brooks’ phone. He has since appeared in court. He denies the accusations.

Graham Linehan, a co-creator of Father Ted, is facing a charge of harassing and injuring a transgender woman’s phone. Five officers immediately detained him at Heathrow Airport the following week as he returned from the US.

Before waving a sandwich board that read, “There’s no such thing as a transgender child,” Linehan posed for a picture for the cameras as he entered Westminster Magistrates’ today.

Linehan, a five-time BAFTA award winner, has denied the accusations leveled against him. After being charged with the alleged offences, which allegedly occurred at a Battle of Ideas festival on October 19, 2024, he has appeared in court today.

He stated in a statement that “this is part of a long history of the police acting as a goon squad for trans rights activists after being contacted by the Mirror about those charges earlier this year.”

Linehan is also the author of The IT Crowd and Black Books, two popular TV programs that survived cancer in 2018. He was honored with a lifetime achievement and published a memoir, Tough Crowd: How I Made and Lost a Career in Comedy in October 2023.

He has since claimed that his career and marriage have been destroyed because of his vocal criticism of the trans-rights movement.

It comes just days after Linehan said he was questioned by police over “joke” tweets he made about trans people. He said he was taken to a police station near Heathrow Airport following his flight from Arizona.

He stated in an email to his substack followers, “I just got arrested once more.” When I returned to London, I discovered that trans activists still run the police in the country.

Five armed police officers were waiting for me as soon as I took off the plane at Heathrow. Not one, not two, but five. I was taken to a private area and informed that I had been arrested for three tweets. The state mobilized five armed officers to arrest a comedy writer for this tweet (and no, I promise you, I am not making this up) in a nation where paedophiles avoid sentencing, knife crime is out of control, and women are assaulted and harassed every time they gather to speak.

“I actually laughed when I saw the cops.” I was unable to support myself. Don’t tell me! Trans activists have informed you that “the officers gave no reaction,” which was the theme throughout the day. There was a sort of polite bafflement among the upperclassmen. Completely professional and even kind, but the majority of the time had no idea what all of this was about.

He claimed he was examined by a nurse while he was in custody before being taken to the hospital because he was concerned for his health in his lengthy post, which also detailed his time spent in the prison cell.

He claimed that a nurse eventually came in and discovered that my blood pressure was above 200, typical for strokes. My life was literally threatened by the stress of being detained for jokes! After being under observation for about eight hours, I was taken to A&amp, E, where I am now writing this.

Continue reading the article.

The doctors speculated that stress, long-haul travel, and a lack of movement were all factors contributing to the high blood pressure. I don’t think lesbians have c****, so I think it may have been a factor in the fact that I’ve been targeted by trans activists for eight years while working with the police on a dedicated, persistent harassment campaign.

Linehan has been placed on a bail until October, and according to his circumstances, he has been told not to post on X social media.
