The 'Only Way Is Essex' star - who is with her former co-star Arg - appeared as a guest panellist on Monday's episode of 'Loose Women' (11.02.19), and the star revealed that her man wants to keeps things traditional and tie the knot before they start trying for a baby "at the end of the year".

Speaking on the ITV daytime chat show, Gemma said: "A lot of my friends that I've been on 'TOWIE' with have all gone on to have children and everyone is like 'When are you going to have a baby?'

"Obviously I did have a few problems and did feel kind of not feel fully whole, like as a woman, because it was like 'Oh my god I can't have children, people are going to look down on me'.

"I got two other second opinions and they said I'm going to be okay. They just said I need to lose weight, they will put me on a drug called chlomid and then we will start the process. And that is something I'll be looking to do at the end of the year.

"Well Arg is the one that keeps going on to me about it [having a baby] and is like 'Come on Gem', and then he says 'I would like to be married first' and I say 'Arg, just go and get that yellow diamond and let's get this thing moving' - No we're definitely going to marry but he wants to do it all properly."

The 38-year-old star - who was voted off 'Dancing On Ice' Sunday night (10.02.19) - also confessed that when she has a baby she wants to be "settled" so she can be the "best mum" to her child because currently her career has her travelling all over the country.

She added: "When I have my child, I want to give it my all, and at the moment I've been very busy with my career, I want - when that baby's born - to love it so much I'll never want to let it go.

"It gets me emotional talking about it, but I want to give my life to that child and at the moment I don't know where I am from one day to the next and I really want to be in a position where I'm 100 per cent settled.

"We're in the process of moving at the moment and you know, I just want to have a bit of calm in my life to be the best mum I can be."
