"But I actually gave birth to a child, sadly, and basically the child was four months old, basically I had a miscarriage but obviously the baby was formed and it died in front of me.
"I had to go to the hospital and my mum was there. I can remember my mum being really upset. I can remember my mum being really upset, I was in shock, I was upset.
"That was really a shocking moment for me. But this is what I’m saying, I can talk about it now.
"Things sometimes are not meant to be."
Gemma continued: "I’ll never forget it, it was a very traumatising experience because I didn’t know I was pregnant and literally I remember waking up with severe pains and my mum said to me: ‘Gemma you need to go to the toilet,’ and I was like" ‘Honey, this is not…’ I mean obviously I couldn’t describe…
"Look I try and find the bit of entertainment in this bad situation because I think that’s probably a coping mechanism of mine, I try to laugh or see a brighter side in things even though it was really traumatic.
"But I can remember just being in utter shock. I’ve been through a lot so I feel in life, nothing shocks me.
"So anything you could tell me now wouldn’t shock me because I’ve been through a lot and I've dealt with a lot but I’m grateful for those experiences because I can sit here today and relay them to other people."
Gemma, who recently launched a pyjama range with In The Style, previously opened up about her miscarriage in 2016, on Channel 5's show In Therapy.
The star revealed that she felt she had to put on a brave face and attend the National Television Awards, despite the devastating ordeal.
She said: "My mum started crying, but I knew I had to go and perform at the National Television Awards.
