The former Hollyoaks and Emmerdale actress and Strictly star spoke out to reassure her Instagram followers
Gemma Atkinson has told her Instagram followers she had a smear test scare. Former Hollyoaks and Emmerdale actress Gemma, 37, spoke about her 'horrible' month after being 'full of worry' after having cervical screening, which checks the health of the cervix to help prevent cancer.
She was relieved to be told immediately that 'everything was fine' and has urged fans not to worry if they're also invited for a colposcopy. "Wanted to keep it real with you lot on here as it's always like having an extended family. It's been a bloody horrible month," she wrote on her Instagram Stories.
"Early Sept I had to have a colposcopy from smear results that they weren't happy with. Thankfully everything was fine. No issues at all but the build up to waiting wasn't so great. I think we automatically assume the worst as humans don't we!" Gemma also told fans that after the colposcopy she had a wisdom tooth removed after suffering from toothache. "The day after that I had my tooth out and then the dry socket started which was agony for 10 days," she wrote. The Hits Radio presenter, who competed in Strictly Come Dancing in 2017, then became poorly with another infection and one of her beloved doogs Norman was taken ill.
