Former Emmerdale star Gemma Oaten, famous for Rachel Breckle (2011 to 2015), candidly shared her past relationship trauma on Instagram. ITV fans already know that the actress has recently joined BBC’s Doctors after a 13-year-long acting hiatus. Surprisingly, it’s the same show she debuted on.
After 23 years on air, the BBC has confirmed that the show will shortly be ending. While discussing this, the star expressed her delight over being able to return before it ends. Recently, the soap star made her way back to the headlines after making an emotional social media post.
The soap star, known for her roles in both Emmerdale and Coronation Street, recently showed off her new hairstyle while candidly discussing her financial struggles during lockdown. Gemma revealed how she faced uncertainty about maintaining a roof over her head after her tour was canceled.
She added, “Also still recovering from a past relationship that left me with nothing at the hands of someone who took it all…” The 39-year-old also revisited her ‘unhealthy’ relationship in a heartfelt Instagram post from January. She marked the toxic romance with love bombing and gas-lighting while admitting that her desperation was also at fault.
Additionally, the Emmerdale actress recounted her emotional experience with her beloved dog, Ruby. She remembered doing ‘everything’ to protect her. In a way, Oaten saved Ruby and herself by getting out of the relationship, as they both wouldn’t be here if they stayed with the person.
Ultimately, it led Gemma to prioritize her own well-being. She expressed, “He took everything monetary from me, but he didn’t take me.” Additionally, the Rachel actress emphasises the importance of self-care through simple pleasures like attending the theater or pampering with a manicure or blow dry.
She recalled how she hadn’t allowed herself to indulge in all these activities for years. At last, Gemma commented, “Doing things for YOU is so important.” For more Emmerdale updates,
