She has recently disclosed that she is entering a thrilling new stage of her career.

Furthermore, it’s a far cry from her Hollyoaks and Emmerdale roles.

When a fan asked Gemma whether she would want to work on a soap opera once again, the actress—who is now the mother of her three-and five-month-old son Thiago—replied, “Even if I enjoyed it at the time, I wouldn’t be able to devote to soap operas long term again.

It’s challenging when you have kids because it changes every day.

In particular, because Gorks has been absent since August. I can watch any drama or movie, but I’d definitely be able to work around them if there was a start and finish date for the shooting. I can also work around my radio programme, which I like.

“I’m shooting a British movie in March actually which Is exciting!”

As a young actor in Hollyoaks, Gemma gained popularity for her portrayal of Lisa Hunter on television.

She went on to portray Carly Hope in Emmerdale, Tamzin Bayle in Casualty, and an appearance on I’m A Celebrity.

She currently writes in addition to being a broadcaster on Hits Radio.

Her most recent fitness manual, The Ultimate Body Plan For New Moms, has easy-to-make, wholesome foods along with self-care advice.

The busy mother is also arranging her marriage to 31-year-old Spaniard Gorka, whom she met on Strictly in 2017.

“Strictly Come Dancing was my favourite reality show because I met Gorka there,” the woman said.

“My life was completely transformed by my work at Strictly. That performance gave me my fiancé and my lovely daughter.

Despite not being paired, the couple became close while on tour.

They got inseparable when Gorka asked her to have breakfast with him.

Later, Gemma urged, they take a trip together to see how well their relationship held up.

“It wasn’t secret on the tour,” the woman said. Since we were staying at the same hotels, the whole cast was aware.

We used to reserve the same room every time. It was very lovely. You get excellent care, including transportation to and from the studio.

“Your call time and schedule are given to you.

“It’s simple and everything is taken care of for you. “This isn’t real life at all,” we said. We are really fortunate to be living in this bubble.

“After this is over, I live in Manchester and you live in London.”

“We reserved a trip to Tenerife. For three weeks, we spent every day together.

Going on vacation with someone is often said to be a good test. We went, and it was fantastic.

Football players Cristiano Ronaldo and Alan Smith, blue singer Lee Ryan, and her Emmerdale co-star Cleveland Campbell are among Gemma’s ex-partners.

After football player Marcus Bent and Britain’s Got Talent star Liam Richards proposed, their relationships ended, and she has now been engaged three times.
