Gemma's finger like a tampon

GEMMA walked down the red carpet at the Soap Awards - with her finger resembling a tampon.

The former Hollyoaks star chatted to her jungle pals about the stress of arriving at the glitzy event.

Her train to the ceremony was severely delayed - and there was no food in the first class lounge.

She said: “I was sat next to one of the lighting guys and I was peeling an orange and asked to borrow his knife to cut the fruit.

"We’d been drinking to get over the nerves, I was a bit drunk and I sliced through my finger quite badly and had to sit the journey trying not to get blood on the dress I was carrying."

The actress sought help from rail staff and was told she needed stitches.

She added: "I had to wait until I was sober until I got the stitches so I’m waiting there with my finger hanging off and then she had to inject me with local anaesthetic and I passed out and I woke up and it looked like a big Tampax on my finger.

"I didn’t have time to shower or anything and had to walk down the red carpet with my finger in my bandages and everyone slated me for what my outfit looked like, but I thought if they only knew what I’d been through.”
