It’s all about family when it comes to the TOWIE cast. The Wrights – including Mark Wright, Jess Wright and their mum Carol – were the OG family on the ITVBe show, then there were sister Sam and Billie Faiers and, later, The Sims family.
Chloe Sims made her debut on the show in 2011 before being joined by her brother Charlie and then sisters Frankie and Demi. They quit Essex in 2021 for a new life in LA and their own reality show, House of Sims, but following a row between the sisters, Frankie and Demi have returned to the side of the pond while Chloe remains Stateside.
Three years after they last appeared on the ITVBe show, Frankie and Demi returned to TOWIE for a one-off appearance last year to support their pal Harry Derbidge following his split from Joe Blackman. Fast forward to the present day and Demi has teased ‘unfinished business' while revealing her latest career move.
If you’ve been following the reality star on social media for a while, then you’ll probably know that she’s been training in the boxing gym with her dad Tony, who is an elite trainer, and now she’s set to make her professional debut in the ring.
Demi took to Instagram over the weekend to share that she will be fighting an unnamed opponent at Misfits Boxing’s Unfinished Business event in Manchester next month.
‘I will be fighting as the @ksi undercard at the Manchester AO Arena 29th March for @misfitsboxing! Live streaming on @daznboxing TICKET LINK IN MY BIO … LETS GO,’ she wrote on Instagram.
Demi was supported by her friends and followers in the comments section, with sister Frankie writing, ‘ITS FINALLY OUT.’
Love Island’s Arabella Chi commented, ‘Yesss girllll,’ while Jess Gale added, ‘Yayyyy let’s go!’
Speaking about her unexpected career move, Demi previously told International Boxing News, ‘I’ve always been interested in boxing watching my dad work really hard and train them. I’ve always found it interesting.
‘He said I’ve got a hard punch as well. He reckons I can fight well.’
