Elsewhere in the interview Gemma admitted that her experience on shows such as Celebrity Big Brother, I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here and Dancing on Ice has made her thick skinned.
Reflecting on her time in reality TV, Gemma told BBC host Alice Dale and Josh Rom: “I think what was tough was probably leaving the jungle, I took a lot of stick for that when I left the jungle. I had to follow my own soul and I had to follow what was right for me”

She continued: “I just got on to TV. I had just been selling cars, then done TOWIE, then I was asked to go the jungle and I just wasn’t ready for it. So yeah, that was probably a tough time the rest to be honest. I’m used to take in the stick but I’ve got broad shoulders”
Gemma added: “You just have to always like do the right thing. You know what’s right by you … I look back now and as you said, just resilience. I do have a lot of resilience.”
