“I kind of regret doing it but I feel like sometimes you’re in such a desperate place and you want to lose weight but actually I’ve come away from all the diet promotion because I wish we could get rid of that word diet.
“It’s basically what works for you. I eat scrambled eggs, bacon, avocados, I have two bits of chocolate, I have jelly, nuts. But my diet may not work for you, it’s just a healthy eating plan that works for you.”
The GC, who has been sharing her daily fitness regimes with her social media fans, has revealed that she regrets neglected her health in her 30s.
The reality star explained: “It is so important that we keep getting that message home to people, that beauty is more than just these pumped up faces, it’s not all about that.

She has been trying to shed the pounds for years – even resorting to controversial weight loss jabs in the past, as well as extreme diets.
Weight loss injections contain the injectable drug liraglutide, which can help suppress the appetite and control blood sugar levels.
Experts have warned that weight loss jabs can be dangerous, with common side effects of liraglutide including diarrhoea, dizziness, headaches, insomnia, skin reactions, toothache and vomiting.
However, Gemma has now found a healthy balance of diet and exercise, which appears to be the right lifestyle change for her to maintain.
