Gemma Atkinson was always destined for fame - if a letter she wrote as a 13-year-old is anything to go by.
The Hits Radio host was left laughing at her own confidence as she rediscovered a note she had written to her uncle while still at school.
Gemma, 37, took to Instagram to share the message after Clive, her uncle, dropped off some of the stuff he had kept from her school days.

First, she showed a picture of her as a baby which Gemma said 'could be Mia' referring to her two-year-old daughter she shares with Strictly Come Dancing star Gorka Marquez, before adding it is 'hilarious'.
"But, I wrote a letter," she said picking the A5-sized note out of her stuff. She then went out to read exactly what the letter said.
"Dear Clive, my uncle Clive, thank you very much for your card. P.s. here's an autograph before I become famous and don't forget about you..." Gemma said before giving a close-up and telling her millions of followers: "I genuinely signed it."
Continuing on with the letter, Gemma read: "Unlucky mate... Jean-Claude Van Damme here I come," as she then explained: "I was determined to meet Van Damme, I loved him."
Offering an update on that, she said: "I have met Van Damme... twice. How funny's that?"
She then turned over the note to see some more of her message which read: "To uncle Clive from, the fantastic Gemma," she laughed. "How funny!"
And not only did she know that she'd be famous one day, her campaigning for animals also started at a young age.
"I also wrote this, it's hilarious," Gemma said before reading out another letter. "I'm only 12 going on 13 but I still have a right to do this. I am protesting against animal experiments. They are cruel and unnecessary.
"My dog hates having a bath and the pets you've got there must hate being moved because wherever they go they have something horrible done to them."
"If this letter won't stop you, nothing will. They suffer in silence," Gemma read before showing her handy work on the piece of paper. Laughing, Gemma added: "Aww! 12 going on 13."
She then wrote over the videos: "Always loved animals [crying laughing emoji]. Always have and always will speak up for them [heart emoji]."
Gemma is still a huge animal lover and as well as being a devoted pet owner to dogs Ollie and Norman, she's also a supporter of Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary which is located in her hometown of Bury.
The mum-of-one is set to return to screens this week as she reprises her role in Hollyoaks. Gemma joined the Channel 4 soap in 2001 as Lisa Hunter and more than 20 years later she is heading back to the village for a special guest appearance.
Her scenes, which she filmed earlier this year, will air during Hollyoaks this week and the programme has previously teased: " Since leaving Chester Lisa has found love with her activist boyfriend in Thailand, which is where she connected with old school friend Zara. But is there an ulterior motive behind her surprise visit?"
