It has been 16 years since Gemma’s exit from Hollyoaks but The Sun reports she’ll soon be returning.

A source told The Sun: “Their daughter is now at an age where Gemma can work more and more and she’s already been making brief appearances on TV shows.

"And it’s a real coup getting her back on Hollyoaks because she’s arguably one of the programme’s biggest success stories.”

After leaving Hollyoaks Gemma has appeared in Casualty as well as Emmerdale. While she’s also appeared on I’m a Celeb and Strictly Come Dancing.

Gemma, 36, met fiancé Gorka Marquez while competing in the show, back in 2017, and the two welcomed daughter Mia in 2019.

As ever, we'll bring you all the comings and goings from soapland.
