The 36-year-old actress - whose villainous character was killed off back in 2013 - will be on hand to present 'Hollyoaks Favourites' during a week of episodes entirely dedicated to Clare.

The first of the throwback episodes is set to air on Channel 4 on May 20.

The broadcaster is poised to air an increasing number of older episodes on 'Hollyoaks Favourites' in the coming weeks, after technical issues had previously stopped it from doing so.

A TV insider told Metro.co.uk: "We had always intended to delve into every era of classic 'Hollyoaks' - there are so many stories in there to revisit and so much good material.

"Viewers have rightly noticed that the majority so far have been modern favourites but after resolving some technical difficulties in relation to the older episodes, fans can look forward to a real mix of modern classics and really classic classics!"

Gemma previously admitted she loved working on the Channel 4 soap, revealing she enjoyed the sense of camaraderie between the cast and crew.

Speaking in 2013 after she rejoined the show, the actress shared: "All the crew - that is without a shadow of a doubt the best thing about working here.

"It's like a proper family and I'm glad I get to work with them again."

'Hollyoaks' suspended filming in March due to the coronavirus pandemic.

However, the show's bosses subsequently said that 'Hollyoaks Favourites' will "give viewers a chance to revisit some of our biggest episodes, from weddings, bust-ups, heartbreaks and some of our biggest and best stunts".
