The 35-year-old actress - who has Mia, 15 months, with 'Strictly Come Dancing' star Gorka Marquez - knows that marriage planning can be stressful, but she's suggested she's open to having a small, low-key wedding ceremony one day.

Asked how she’d feel if Gorka turned up at a TV studio and demanded they get married, Gemma told 'Steph's Packed Lunch' on Channel 4: "I don’t know if I could be bothered with everything. I’d say no, not yet.

"I’m assuming part of the nice bit of the wedding is the build-up whereby you both plan it together – I know it will be stressful."

Although Gemma isn't desperately keen to tie the knot at the moment, she's not ruling the idea out altogether.

She reflected: "I would be up for a quick wedding, you know, a local registry office, get it done, boom. But I wouldn’t if he demanded it here and now, no."

Meanwhile, Gemma confessed earlier this year that her body "doesn't look like it did" after giving birth.

The soap star explained that she's now "got hips" - but she doesn't allow the changes to worry her.

Gemma said: "My body doesn't look like it did before. It's changed after having a baby, but that made me more determined to do [the shoot for a magazine] – my body is not better or worse, just different.

"Maybe it's important to show that to other women? ... I was always straight up and down, like a surfboard, but now I've got a bit of a waist.

"When I put on high-waisted jeans, you can see I've got hips. I reckon I'm about three percent J Lo now, so I'm happy with that."
