Love Island’s Samie Elishi was in a good mood on Saturday as she giggled with friend Claudia Fogarty days after getting it all straight amid her recent cancer scare.
The reality star, 23, recently revealed the results of her thyroid surgery in a health update after waiting two weeks to find out if her nodule was cancerous.
And after getting the good news earlier this month, Samie was certainly in the mood to celebrate as she celebrated her 29th birthday with fellow islander Claudia over drinks in Manchester.
Sporting a casual yet stylish figure for the outing, Samie donned slim-fitting gray leggings paired with a navy blue bomber jacket and trainers.
She carried her essentials in a dream tote bag and carried her cell phone in her hand as she walked inside.

‘I was absolutely fine’: The reality star, 23, recently revealed the results of her thyroid surgery in a health update after waiting two weeks to find out if her nodule was cancerous
Meanwhile, year-old Claudia was chic in an all-black ensemble, dressing in a black top and flared pants with on-trend sneakers and shades.
It comes after Samie revealed she’s “doing well” after undergoing thyroid surgery nearly three weeks ago.
The TV personality gave fans an update on her health when she admitted she “thought she was going to get a lot worse” after the procedure.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline last week at the Ghost Fragrances Luna Collection launch party, she revealed she felt great after waking up from the anesthesia.
Samie said, ‘I’m fine, I’ve got a Prosecco in hand, but honestly I thought I’d be a lot worse than I was. But I woke up and about 20 minutes after eating McDonalds!
‘I was absolutely fine and I know some people have worse experiences but I was so lucky and my surgeon was amazing and that was on the NHS. So yes, I’m fine and healing.’
The reality star, who recently revealed the lump on her neck wasn’t cancer, said she’s gotten several messages from fans about her health since opening.
Samie continued, “I’m getting DMS and messages from fans saying ‘I’m going to have surgery’, ‘I have the same scar'”.

“I even have moms and nans texting me like my granddaughter has a lump on her neck and she’s getting it checked because of you. I’m like “OMG that’s awesome”.
Despite only having surgery last week, Samie was right back to work.
She added, “The grind never ends and there are a lot of exciting things coming up. September is going to be huge’.
While she’s “super busy” with brand deals and events, Samie has made it clear she won’t be returning to Love Island for the All Stars series if producers demand it.
She said: ‘I’ve always said Love Island is a once in a lifetime thing and I don’t think I’ll be going back. I’ve done my time.’
Samie, who recently sported a stylish figure at a Boohoo party, received the good news over the weekend after waiting two to three weeks to find out if her lump was cancerous.

During her latest YouTube, she decided to share the results with her fans after meeting one of her friends Abi.
She said: ‘We just got some really good news, my surgeon just called me and said the lump in my neck is not cancer and it’s just a benign tumor.
“So we’re having Prosecco to celebrate,” to which her friend replied, “Cheers to that!”
Later in the video, Samie added, “I just wanted to end the vlog on the highest note ever. I was just so happy when my surgeon called me yesterday.
“It was a bit overwhelming that I was in such shock — bless him to call me directly too, I think that was so nice of him, he didn’t have to.

‘But yes, the worries are over now and the lump is out. It’s clearly benign, meaning nothing was wrong at the end of the day.
“But it’s always good to have these things checked and removed because you never know what it could be in the future.”
“It’s just a really big security measure. I don’t regret having the surgery and I don’t regret having the lump out, but forward and up.
“The results couldn’t be better — it’s not cancer and that was my main concern.”
The reality TV star first described her fear of cancer when she shared a tearful video in April telling fans how she had found a lump on her neck.
