She shared a snap from the event, which showed Gemma looking very glamorous wearing a navy one shoulder maxi dress with split skirt.
Captioning the post, she said: "Red carpets!
"I used to get SO nervous walking them & cringe inside knowing that despite what you wear, how you stand or who you are, people will still msg you directly or comment on articles saying how bad they think you look."
The TV star has, thankfully, changed her mindset of late.
She continued: "I don’t know if it’s an age thing, being a mum now or just a combination of taking care of myself but I now don’t let any of the above bother me and it’s such a refreshing space to be in!
"Giving a stranger the power to affect your mood is soul destroying and a complete waste of your time. Especially a stranger who’s sat alone on the internet."
She implored her fans to "know their worth", adding: "Know who you are and rock what you wanna rock! Shape, size, whatever, just do you!
"I actually spoke to an actress last night who is and looked beautiful, she was joking that tomorrow she’ll either be 'too fat' or 'too thin' in that dress, she then followed it with, 'I just smile and think, oh f**k off'"
