Gemma Merna has yet to set a wedding date

Gemma Merna plans to have her Hollyoaks co-stars as bridesmaids when she gets married.

The actress, who plays Carmel McQueen in the Channel 4 soap, has been engaged to property developer Ian Minton since 2007.

Although they're yet to set a date, Gemma wants her on-screen family to be part of the nuptials.

‘The whole cast are really, really close but obviously [I'm closest to] Jennifer Metcalfe, Nicole Barber-Lane and Claire Cooper,' she tells Now Online.

‘They're all going to be bridesmaids at my wedding.'

Hollyoaks actress Genmma Merna has teamed up with Aviva Young Drivers Campaign to encourage young drivers to drive more safely. Find out more at www.avivayoungdrivers.com
