Gemma - who began to develop "agonising" back pain during a trip to Jerusalem last month, which was later diagnosed as a trapped nerve - told fans that she has ditched junk food in a bid to lose weight.
"Not only did we have a magical time, we went to Tel Aviv and me and Rami were all in love again," Gemma recalled.
"We've never not been in love, we're in love more than ever and we just really got connected.
"I did some really good stuff while I was there, from the nature side of things it was incredible.

"I ate vine leaves, hummus, falafel.
"Basically I probably wacked on, no joke...seven to ten pounds, even a stone.
"I'm scared to get on the scales, I refuse to get on the scales."

"What I want to talk to you about is goal setting, in life it's good to have that vision of what you want to be or do," she explained to listeners on her .
"I think January, February, March is a time where I certainly need to crack on and start doing my fitness and get some of this weight off.
"I'm absolutely sick of it, as you all know I struggle with my weight as I have PCOS and underactive thyroid and it's a constant battle for me all the time.
"When my back went I was like I really need to lay off the goodies."
Last week, Gemma told how she had developed excruciating pain in her back and feet during her pilgrimage to Jerusalem with fiancé Rami Hawash.
The star was forced to get treatment from a personal trainer, physiotherapist and spiritual healer when she returned to the UK.
Speaking about her treatment after, Gemma said: "I'm in agony. Oh my God, is this man the G-O-D. One session I'm walking, I'm up, I'm round the kitchen. I can't tell you the agony I've been in it's like a curse.
She continued: "I don't know what's happened. Whoever put the curse on me take it off. It's been nothing but hassle the minute I stepped back in the UK."
And it appeared the single session is all Gemma needed.
