Gemma currently lives in South London with her husband Gerry and their two children.
Speaking about the relationship, Gemma mentioned in the same Guardian interview that she “huffs and puffs” to draw attention to something she doesn’t like. She called it “the most unattractive habit” and instead wanted to communicate what she was unhappy about.
