The star looked radiant with minimal make-up on making her striking blonde locks the main focus.

The 32-year-old captioned the stunning snap: “Blonder and longer 💁🏼 Thank you @cintalondon @racoonintl#Dreamteam.”

Fans rushed to comment on the photo with one saying: “Wow gorgeous 😘.”

“Ok…you have officially hit a new level of pretty!! 😘,” another gushed.

A third wrote: “You look fantastic. 😊.”

Gemma has been undergoing a complete image overhaul and is known for living a very active, healthy lifestyle.

The blonde beauty often treats fans to photos of her extremely toneded figure.

In one post Gemma looked very proud as she flaunted her impressive abs.

One fan commented: “Amazing!!! You are an inspiration.”

Another added: “Healthy fit and beautiful…well done!”

And since leaving Emmerdale the star admitted she would love to have a career in Mixed Martial Arts.

The super-fit actress revealed she would love to be a cage fighter and practices Thai boxing three times a week and is keen to move into MMA and UFC championship contests.

Speaking to The Sun she said: “To master one martial art, in my opinion, is very difficult.

“Someone who can do floor work and grappling, Brazilian jiu-jitsu as well as regular boxing and wrestling, just all in one, for an MMA fight, I think that’s fantastic.

“I started with kickboxing and when you see UFC on TV and you see these guys doing amazing stuff, you realise ‘Oh my gosh, there’s actually so much more I can learn’.”

She went on to say: “I don’t fight, obviously, because of my work. I don’t think ITV would allow it, being all bruised up.

“But I think more women should do it.”

Gemma’s character, Carly Hope, left the Dales back in June.

And Gemma has admitted there is still a chance for her return to the soap.

“Like Carly if I get too comfortable I have to go and start something else and take a leap of faith before I get stuck,” explained Gemma.

“This job is amazing but I’m wary of just becoming part of the furniture.

“I’m 100% sure Carly will return as she has unfinished business in the village, it’s just a case of figuring out when and why – and who she can mess up when she gets back,” she added.
