EMMERDALE’s Gemma Oaten broke down in tears during an emotional appearance on BBC Breakfast.
The 38-year-old actress and campaigner appeared on the show today to discuss eating disorders.
Before appearing on the red sofa to speak with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty, viewers were shown a VT on her work.
The hosts revealed nearly 30,000 were hospitalised last year for conditions associated with eating disorders.
Gemma’s charity, Seed, which was set up by her parents after her own battle, will open two new therapy rooms in Hull on Friday.
One of the rooms is named after Big Brother legend Nikki Grahame, who tragically died nearly two years ago.
The second room is named after 17-year-old Chelsea Blue.
