The 2024 islander also told her followers that she had travelled to Poland to be with Estera’s loved ones following her death.
Jess wrote: “To our beautiful best friend Estera..
“I am angry, I am so unbelievably sad and my heart is completely broken..
“If you had the pleasure of knowing Est you were so very lucky, she was strong and she was stubborn in all of the best ways.
“She fought 5 years of her life with cancer and you would never have even known. She was brave and showed up even on her worst days and she never let her illness affect living her best little life.”
Jess went on to explain that she and Estera were “life-long best friends” after meeting when they were just 11 years old.
“A pain like this is so unbearable,” she continued.
“I am so proud of her, for everything she has had to battle the last 5 years that no one should ever go through, she deserved a long life full of abundance, and it hurts me beyond words that her story ended here.
I always said that I’d be lost without her and that’s exactly how it feels. What a beautiful soul and a blessing to of had her in my life. I feel so lucky that I got to experience a friendship so deep, a bond so unbreakable that my heart aches and my world will never be the same.
“My forever sidekick and the worst but best influence to each other. There will never be enough memories with you, and I would do anything for more time and one last cuddle.”
Jess added: “We all miss you so much Est. You are so loved and admired.
“Our real life angel in the sky, I’m desperate to laugh and dance with you again.
“Forever in my heart and always on my mind. ‘Forever together.’”
While Jess’s fans have sent their condolences, many of her Love Island friends have also commented on her sad news.
Faye Winter said: “Sending you all the love in world, a friendship like this will last a lifetime, it will be the friendship that every time something good or bad happens you’ll wish they were with you, in that moment know that they are who you think of because they are right there beside you.”
Matilda Draper added: “Sending so much love & praying for you all.”
