Shock: She continued: ‘I don’t understand how furniture can be blown all around the garden it’s just crazy’
The candid one-hour documentary which aired on Wednesday also sees her partner Rami, 48, express his shock at having caught Gemma cutting herself 10 years ago.
During the film, Gemma and her on-again fiancé sit down to discuss their future in emotional conversation, in which the former TOWIE star initially shares her fears of her self-harming returning.
She said: ‘In the back of my mind, because obviously we do want to go on to have a baby and stuff and I feel very happy with you and very settled with you, and I think always in the back of my mind you think, “Oh s**t is it gonna come back?”‘
Whoops: Sharing a clip of a white horse statue which previously adorned her garden, the Diva Forever star said: ‘Poor Tallulah was taken down in the storm’
Fencing: The panels of her fence which go around the garden had been blown out of their fixtures
Blown over: Her silver heater which sat on the patio was also knocked down in the strong winds
Elsewhere in the documentary, Gemma once again opened up on her desire to have a baby with Rami, with the star became emotional again as she shared her worry at potentially having post-natal depression which in turn could trigger her need to self-harm.
She explained: ‘Because I now want to go on to have a family and stuff, I was always scared.’
Gemma choked back tears as she continued: ‘It’s not like a normal conversation you can have with someone as they’re thinking “is she fit to have a baby?” It’s one of those things, do you know what I mean?’

She added: ‘I suppose there’s just a part of me… you hear about people have post natal depression, I don’t ever want it to come back. It’s scary. It’s very, very scary’
Meanwhile, discussing her relationship with Rami, Gemma told her therapist: ‘He knows me very well, he knows Gemma. He’s normal.’
As her therapist replied: ‘He’s interested in you’, Gemma went on to add: ‘Massively, which is surprising but nice at the same time. It’s lovely. He genuinely likes and loves me.’
And amid their recently rekindled romance, their relationship was not without his difficulties in the past as Rami recalled catching Gemma self-harming 10 years ago.
The businessman detailed coming home and walking into the kitchen to find Gemma standing with a tea towel wrapped around her arm with ‘blood everywhere’ on the floor.
He explained to her: ‘I could see that you’d done something to yourself, that you’d cut yourself. So I washed your hand s and you started crying…. and I was shocked.’
Gemma admitted she never wanted to kill herself, and would cut herself as a ‘coping mechanism’ to relieve pressure.
She explained: ‘It was never about you, it was never about any of that. It was to do with me, obviously I was going through something and the only way I could relieve the pressure was to cut myself.

‘I never wanted to kill myself, that never went through my head. It was like a coping mechanism for me.
‘So you know, when I just obviously, suddenly got famous and then people were coming up to me every five minutes. The pressure, the build-up, I couldn’t express myself properly.’
The documentary sees the TV star looking back on her history of self-harm, which she struggled with for two decades.
