What's 2017 all about? Well, so far Gemma has co-hosted Big Church Day Out North & South, including interviewing her childhood hero Michelle Williams from Destiny's Child, "this was a huge honour for me, what an inspirational woman with a Christlike heart of gold!"
Gemma has also just finished filming Series 5 of 'Swashbuckle' which will be out later this year for another 26 episodes of 'rip roaring pirate fun'. There are also some fun pirate songs that Gem and the pirates have recorded and filmed that will keep going around your heads, watch this space for their release online. Also, you can now stay in a Swashbuckle themed bedroom at the CBeebies Land Hotel at Alton Towers, how cool is that?!
