The 56-year-old actress has gone through "different phases" during the coronavirus crisis, including getting herself in good shape and having "lots of clear-outs".

Asked how her 2020 has been, Gina - who is married to Kez Carey - replied: "In different phases of lockdown, I've felt different things. Overall, I count my blessings.

"I know people are facing huge challenges and in comparison mine are minimal. Initially, I found it a really useful time and I was very productive. I did the Couch to 5K and lots of clear-outs. I'm in a bubble with my husband, so we've been together."

Gina starred alongside Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant in 'Notting Hill' - but she's only seen the hit film one time.

In fact, Gina doesn't "remember the film that well".

She told The Independent: "I've only seen 'Notting Hill' once and that was at the premiere. Perhaps I should watch it again. I really enjoyed being a part of it, I met some fantastic people. But I don’t remember the film that well.

"If you watch anything at a premiere you never really watch it properly because it’s such a heightened situation."

Gina also revealed she suffered an awkward incident on the first day of filming.

The actress recalled: "I do remember turning up on the first day in the exact same trousers as Julia Roberts. Black corduroy trousers from GAP.

"I kept my coat on all day, in summer, because I didn't want her to think I was weird or embarrass her or make her feel uncomfortable. It’s stupid but that's how my nervousness came out."
