But although she is using the jabs, she has scolded others who use them when they don't actually 'need' the medication.
Speaking to the Mirror, Gemma said: "I really don't agree with already slim people taking it, that's just not right at all, and it's not what it's for.
"It's for overweight people and it breaks my heart when there's people on the NHS who can't access it and it's such a shame because everyone deserves not to struggle with their weight and you would only understand if you had a weight problem and how difficult it is. I know how it is."
So far, the star revealed she has already dropped from a size 26 to a size 20 and is still continuing on her journey.
The star revealed it had given her a much-needed confidence boost and praised the wonder drug.
The Diva Forever star said: "I've gone from a size 26 to a size 20, and I've never felt better.
"Mounjaro is unbelievable and it's changed my whole life. I think it's a life-changing drug.
"Being able to pick up a size 20 top in M&S, put it on in the changing rooms and just get on with my day, is just such a life-changing experience for me honestly."
She continued: "Don't be scared or anxious - do it!
"You can't just buy them backstreet - there's so many people selling them dangerously and on the backstreet market.

"You have to go with a proper company and it will seriously change your life. It has been the biggest success for me. I have so much energy.
"I just feel good and I'm not obsessed with looking too thin.
"I don't need to prove anything to anyone, I know myself that I'm losing the weight and I feel so much healthier.
"They really are a wonder-drug and if anyone is struggling with their weight, I really do understand.
"I know how difficult it is."

Nurses to vote on pay deal amid concerns of industrial action
Around 345,000 members of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) will be asked if the pay award is enough in what was described as the biggest single vote of the profession ever launched in the UK. Last month, the Westminster government accepted the recommendation of the Pay Review Body, giving nursing staff In England's NHS a pay rise of 3.6%. The RCN described the award as 'grotesque', saying it will see nursing staff receive a pay rise 'entirely swallowed up by inflation' – with doctors, teachers, prison officers and the armed forces all receiving a bigger increase. An identical award was made in Wales, while in Northern Ireland, the Health Minister has announced his wish to implement a 3.6% pay rise, but this is still to be agreed. The RCN said the vote will be crucial in determining the next steps, which could include a ballot for strike action. The vote will include RCN members working in the NHS in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Speaking from an international nursing conference in Helsinki and on the launch of the vote, Professor Nicola Ranger, RCN general secretary, will say: 'I'm with nurses from around the world today asking why it is our ministers in the UK who have once again put nursing at the back of the queue when it comes to pay. 'Nursing is an incredible career, but despite being the most valued profession by the public we continue to be weighted to the bottom of the NHS pay scale and are set to receive one of the lowest pay awards. 'It is time to show that nurses are valued and, from today, hundreds of thousands of nursing staff working in the NHS will give their verdict on whether 3.6% is enough.' The RCN said nursing staff in England have faced more than a decade of pay erosion since 2010/11, with pay down by a quarter in real terms. As a result, there are more than 26,000 unfilled nursing posts, while student recruitment has 'collapsed' and the numbers quitting is 'skyrocketing', said the RCN. Professor Ranger will add: 'Over a decade of pay erosion has had a devastating impact on our profession, forcing increasing numbers into quitting while putting off the nurses of the future. 'When our members vote, they won't just be voting on the fairness of the award for themselves, but if it's enough to turn our profession around.' NHS workers including nurses staged a series of strikes under the previous Conservative government in bitter disputes over pay.

After five failed rounds of IVF, my partner died. I thought I'd go mad with grief... instead I took the most desperate measure and used his sperm to father the children I longed for: CHARLOTTE CRIPPS
At the time it felt like any other Tuesday morning in our two-bedroom home in Notting Hill, west London, but I can remember it all now with precise vividness. I was rushing around getting ready for my day's work as a journalist. Alex, my 48-year-old partner of ten years, was sitting on the bed scrolling through emails while our 12-week-old golden retriever puppy chewed on a chair leg. There was a peculiar smell. I was boiling some herbs in a heart-shaped Le Creuset dish on the stove – a special concoction from my Chinese acupuncturist. I was 40 and preparing for another IVF cycle (this would be our sixth attempt – we'd been trying for a baby for three years) and the drink was supposed to improve my fertility.
