Gemma and Jennifer are to leave the show later this year
A source told OK Online that "Gemma has been blown away by the lovely support she has had from fans since announcing she was leaving the soap later this year.
"She's had a great time but eight years is a long time and she's really looking forward to embarking on new challenges and pushing herself in other areas.
"She's recently been using any time she has off to work on a very exciting new business venture which will surprise people as well as shooting her calendar which looks set to sell out straight away.
"Filming hasn't left her with much time to do lots of other things she wants to do so she can't wait for later this year when she has more time to pursue other areas as well as different acting roles."
