Ex-Emmerdale star Gemma Oaten broke down in tears during an emotional appearance on BBC Breakfast on Friday.

The former Rachel Breckle star was overwhelmed with emotion as she chatted to hosts Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty as she spoke about her late friend Nikki Graham. The actress, who has worked tirelessly to raise awareness of eating disorders, was on the show to discuss her charity SEED, in which she has set up in order to support people struggling with eating disorders.

Gemma was joined on the sofa by Nikki Grahame's close friend. It comes after the Big Brother star tragically lost her life due to complications of anorexia nervosa at the age of 38.
