The TOWIE star, 41, said she plans to have a child at 50, copying supermodel Naomi Campbell, 52, who shocked fans by announcing the birth of her daughter last May.
I have lived my life as a free spirit and have always known what is right for me at the right time.
“Obviously I would love to have my own baby, but it’s not happening. But I do believe that it will come to me at the right time and if it doesn’t, I’m not going to stress, I’m not going to feel less of a woman.
“Jennifer Aniston made a great quote, ‘Don’t define me because I don’t have kids,’ and I was like come on Jennifer!

Gemma also spoke about the cost of living crisis and its potential impact on Christmas this year, saying she wants to help others during difficult times.
She said: ‘I’m an empath so I really pick up the vibes, and I can feel in the air that this year is tough. You turn on the news and you see people fighting and it’s not very nice.
Helping hand: Gemma also spoke about the cost of living crisis and its potential impact on Christmas this year, saying she wants to help others during this difficult time.
‘I think people come to you when you need help the most. I’m hoping someone will come up to me and I can help you by paying for your Christmas dinner this year or paying for your heat for the entire month of December.
“I thought it was amazing when Rod Stewart did that and I would like to do the same for someone. I feel like he would have done a good deed for Christmas by helping others because we all have so much now and when you have so much excess, he gets a bit gluttonous, a bit greedy.
‘It’s just about helping others this year. I think it’s really good at this time of year to help people who need it most.’
Trendsetter: Elsewhere in the chat, Gemma proudly proclaimed that she doesn’t feel pressure to conform to societal expectations, saying, “I’m a trendsetter, I don’t follow trends.”
She continued: ‘My biggest wish for everyone this year is to not feel pressure. I love the spirit of Christmas.
“I’m in a situation in my life where I don’t really want anything. I am very complete in myself, I am very complete. I think it’s not about materialism. My wish this year is that everyone will not focus on material gifts but on old-fashioned values.’
Elsewhere in the chat, Gemma proudly proclaimed that she doesn’t feel pressure to conform to societal expectations, saying, “I’m a trendsetter, I don’t follow trends.”
She said: “I think people put a lot of pressure on themselves to be a certain way for Instagram, to convey a certain lifestyle and you have to remember that it’s not always reality.”
‘You don’t see me at my Marigold’s loading the dishwasher on Instagram. But I’m very settled, I grow my own vegetables, I’m very into my spirituality. The angels are always guiding me. I am one with my own soul. I don’t really need to keep up with the trends.
“I just wish people would realize that what they see on the gram isn’t always 100% real.”Alabama.’
On being the iconic GC, Gemma said she’s proud to bring smiles to people’s faces, saying: ‘I’m very aware that I’m definitely a character and if I can make people laugh or spread a little bit of joy into the day, then I’m very proud of that.’

Added: I like to mix up Christmas traditions – it’s a time of year when everything should be “you” and that’s why I’m teaming up with Malibu (my absolute favorite drink!) to fulfill people’s Christmas wishes this year. .
‘Personally, I wish I had my own ‘GC’ version of Santa’s sleigh. In bright pink, with unicorns instead of reindeer, full of disco goodies, that could fly around the world in one night.
‘Can you imagine how many Christmas parties I could go to?! So this year, if you want some Malibu pixie dust to make your holiday season sparkle, don’t ask Santa, ask me (the GC)!’
