Speaking directly in a video to her fans and followers, Bury-born Gemma said: "I'm currently in the process of launching my very own health and beauty brand called 'Lil' Gems'.

"I don't want to give too much away but we've got a lot planned at Lil' Gems. It's just dawned on me, it's something I've been passionate about for a while but turning 40 this year, having two kids and working, I relieased how little time a lot of us have for a beauty regime and when it comes to our health and wellness, it gets pushed to the bottom of the pile. because of life."
She added: "So with that in mind, I wanted to create products that will still make us feel great, look great, smell great and perform great so there's a lot coming. But I don't want to give too much away but I would love you guys to be part of the creative process. I would love your input..."
