Gemma Atkinson has opened up to fans and after recent smear test scare. The former Hollyoaks and Emmerdale actress Gemma, 37, shared recent health experience with fans and urged others not to worry if they have similar experiences.
Mother-of-one Gemma says "they weren't happy" with the results so she then underwent a colposcopy, a test to take a closer look at the cervix, the opening between the vagina and the womb. During a colposcopy a microscope is inserted to look at the cervix in greater detail.
She was relieved to be told immediately that 'everything was fine' and has urged fans not to worry if they're also invited for a colposcopy. "Wanted to keep it real with you lot on here as it's always like having an extended family. It's been a bloody horrible month," she wrote on her Instagram Stories, Manchester Evening News reports.
