The 23-year-old actress and glamour model, who finished in fifth place on I'm A Celebrity last year, revealed that she has never liked the idea of being "tied down".
And although time apart from footballer Marcus, while in the jungle cemented her feelings him, she insisted she has no desire to marry him.
"I have to go to a bridal fair soon as I'm going to be a bridesmaid and I'll be cringing trying."
Asked what she would do if Marcus popped the question, Gemma replied: "I think he knows not to! I will get married but I don't want to consider it until I've enjoyed my twenties and we've lived together for a while."
The couple got back together just before her appearance on the ITV reality show after a separation of 12 months. And the distance served to make the former Hollyoaks beauty's heart grow fonder.
She gushed: "He's like a rare diamond, once you've got them, you keep hold of them.
"Marcus is very romantic - every day he does something nice for me. The other day we were staying at a hotel and Marcus checked out before me and wrote: 'I love you' on the mirror with soap!
"I wouldn't even think of doing that, I just normally leave a mess in the bathroom""
Gemma revealed she and Marcus are now building a home together which they hope to move into by May.
