The trailer also touched on lighter topics discussed during the wide-ranging interview including some of cosmetic procedures Gemma has had.
She said: 'I have had an operation years ago, I have had a designer vagina,' before jokingly adding: 'But I don't have camel toe!'
Gemma has been open about her fertility struggles and has previously suffered three miscarriages.
She suffered her first heartbreaking loss in 2012, finding the strength to speak out about it publicly eight years later in 2020.
The reality star did not realise she was pregnant at the time, said that the baby 'died in front of her' after giving birth at home on her landing.
Speaking on her own podcast, Gemma said: 'I've had some shocking things happen to me, I'm not sure I've spoken about this before.
'But I actually gave birth to a child, sadly, and basically the child was four months old, basically I had a miscarriage but obviously the baby was formed and it died in front of me.'
'I had to go to the hospital and my mum was there. I can remember my mum being really upset, I was in shock, I was upset.
'That was really a shocking moment for me. But this is what I'm saying, I can talk about it now. Things sometimes are not meant to be.
'I'll never forget it, it was a very traumatising experience because I didn't know I was pregnant and literally I remember waking up with severe pains and my mum said to me, 'Gemma you need to go to the toilet,' and I was like, 'Honey, this is not…'

'But I can remember just being in utter shock. I've been through a lot so I feel in life, nothing shocks me.
'So anything you could tell me now wouldn't shock me because I've been through a lot and dealt with a lot but I'm grateful for those experiences because I can sit here today and relay them to other people.'

She added: 'I have suffered with it for the last 10 years. I started to gain weight when I was 28, my periods were all over the place. I've suffered miscarriages.
'I did go through a very sad miscarriage in lockdown. Due to PCOS I just thought that I was having an unusually heavy period. I actually left it 10 days.'
