Soapstar Gemma Bissix has admitted that she can’t get a man after playing a nasty man eater in both Hollyoaks and Eastenders.

Gemma told this week’s new! magazine: “I think I scare off the nice men, because they think I’m like my screen characters.

“So all I get are the cocky, confident ones who I know are going to cheat on me anyway.”

The only problem with Gemma’s story is that any time I see her in an interview, or when she appeared as herself on Dancing On Ice she seemed to be rather like her cocky and rude soap characters. Maybe life does imitate art after all.
