The 'Emmerdale' star is currently single after recently ending her relationship with fitness trainer Olly Foster but says the pair are still close and he continues to train her.

She told the Sunday People: "Sometimes there are people in your life and it's just not working out the way you thought. We'll always be in each other's life but just as friends.

"We went on a road trip the other week together. Now I can't get away with ditching sessions as he's quite strict with me. I'm happily single. I've got the dogs and lots going on professionally. It's nice to be on my own for a bit.

"I have not even thought about dating. I will give it a few months. I'm one of those people who like their own company. I don't need anyone."

The split comes as a surprise as Gemma previously revealed plans to have children with Olly.

She said: "I always said I'd have a baby at 32 - my mum had me at 32 - so hopefully we'll do that in a few years if God allows it."

Meanwhile, along with playing Carly Hope on 'Emmerdale', Gemma, 31, is also keeping busy with her movie career and recently filmed a Bollywood movie.

She said: "It's really exciting. I've had loads of nice messages from people over in India.

"Being involved with a Bollywood is amazing. Someone told me their film scene is bigger than Hollywood and I couldn't believe it."
