Speaking to her Hits Radio co-host Mike Toolan, Gemma revealed that someone close to her spilled a huge secret.

She confessed that she only told about 14 people about her pregnancy, hinting that someone had sold the news.

She said: “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer to you.”

Mike then asked: “Have you ever had anyone betray kind of a big secret?”

The actress continued: “Recently!

“Now I’m expecting. We only told about 14 people and you and producer Matt were two of them. And we told very close friends and family.”

She continued: “My agent had a call and someone had told a newspaper and the newspaper wanted to run that I was pregnant. And that’s why we put it out there first, whoever sold the story won’t get paid.”

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer to you.

Gemma then shared the video on the Hits Radio Instagram page and captioned it: “Sad but true.”
