Speaking to Capital radio when asked how she is staying positive she said: 'Do you know what, I feel like if I didn't I would make myself ill - you've got to be positive-minded and you've got to be strong-minded to get yourself through it otherwise you just wouldn't. 

'You'd make yourself depressed. So I'm staying super positive and I've got some more treatment in September coming up and then hopefully by the end of the year I'll find out if I'm cancer-free.' 

She added: 'But I'm staying positive. I've had my two surgeries, I feel like that's the worst thing to go through, two surgeries in six weeks, but I've bounced back pretty quick and it's just nice to be out with my friends.

'Bring on the 19th July, I'm ready to dance and have fun again!'

Radio presenter Will Njobvu then asked if she had found it difficult to share the news with her fans.

She replied: 'Oh god, it was hard because I feel like I'm sharing a massive side of me that's really important. 

'But the impact it's had – I was literally at a train station two days ago and a woman just comes up to me and goes 'Demi, thank you, because if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have had my lump checked last week' and just walked past.

'I was like 'wow'. It's so great I'm having this impact on people which is amazing but it is hard because sometimes when I'm out drinking or I'm out having fun with my girls, people are constantly coming up to me and asking me about it and it can be quite emotionally hard.'

Will went on to ask if that annoyed her or if she found it emotionally distressing.

She said: 'It's just a bit difficult but I'm glad people are speaking about it and it's so nice that people are concerned about me, but yeah it can be a bit difficult,
