Gemma recently shared about her difficult journey in a brave and honest post on Instagram. The Emmerdale star revealed that she had lost her top teeth two and a half years ago due to battling an eating disorder and a dentist who had put crowns on top of her rotting teeth. She wanted to share this part of her story to encourage others who may be facing similar struggles and remind them that it is okay to seek help and take steps towards healing.
In her post, Gemma expressed her peace with her journey and thanked her new dentist for giving her her "permanent teeth". She also shared pictures of her new smile, which her fans were quick to compliment and show their support for. Gemma's emotional post garnered a lot of positive responses and one fan even called her a "beautiful lady" with a "beautiful smile".
Gemma's journey with anorexia has been an ongoing battle, but she has been open about it and uses her platform as an actress to raise awareness and support others who are struggling. Her parents, Marg and Dennis Oaten, have also been a crucial part of her recovery and have started a charity called SEED to help others in similar situations. Gemma credits her parents for not giving up on her and for helping her remember who she was.
In a previous article for Metro, Gemma explained the importance of early intervention when it comes to eating disorders. She shared that she almost lost her life because she did not receive help early on. But with the support of her parents, she was able to overcome her struggles and is now living her dreams as an actress, presenter, and public speaker. She is also the patron and manager of SEED, completing a full circle cycle of hope.
