However, she insisted the Love Island girls she spent the summer with have all been “lovely” in the wake of the break-up.
She told Goss.ie: “These last few weeks, as going through any break up, it’s not nice. It’s not a nice time.
“Having to deal with the press and other people’s opinions, and people thinking that they know what’s going on when they don’t, that’s been challenging.
“But overall, I’m doing OK. I’m getting through it and keeping busy.”
Gemma praised her Love Island co-stars saying: “The girls have been lovely.
“Every single one of them has sent me a message, being there, telling me if I never need a call they’ll be there. So that’s really lovely and makes it a bit easier.”
The reality star announced that she and Luca, 23, had split in a message posted on Instagram last month.
It read: “I wanted to let you know that Luca and I are no longer in a relationship. It wasn’t an easy decision but ultimately this is what is best for both of us right now.
“Many of you have been on this journey with us from the beginning and I want to thank you for your continued support as a new chapter starts.”
Luca later released his own statement in which he told fans he’d turned his phone off to make sense of the situation privately.
