Gemma has previously spoken about her mum’s health struggles, and just last year she was hospitalised for pneumonia.
She previously described her mum’s health battle as ‘two years of hell,’ telling The Sun: ‘I always tried to be really strong, so when I was with her I was happy, upbeat, like ”Come on mum, you’re gonna be alright!”
‘Then I’d leave the house, get in my car and cry for hours.
‘I used to ring my friends and say ‘I just don’t know what I can do to help my mum,’ it was the worst thing.’
