‘Ches and Gemma’s date is a nightmare’
Has Chesney always had feelings for Gemma?
Chesney’s always had Gemma’s back from day one. She’s not had many people who have been there for her. She’s a rough diamond.
What do viewers say about Ches and Gemma?
Even when Chesney was with Sinead, I had people asking, “What’s going on with Chesney and Gemma?” so people saw it even then.
Why does the date go so wrong for them?
When Chesney asks Gemma for the date, he messes it up completely because he makes it sound like it’s just mates meeting up for a drink. He turns up in the Bistro in a velvet jacket, hair combed over and with flowers; he’s ready for the date because it’s a moment that has been coming for ages.
And...?
He sees [Gemma’s mate] Spike; a 6ft 4, tattooed, broad man who is the complete opposite of Chesney. It couldn’t go any worse for Chesney, but he doesn’t want to come across as a loner with flowers, waiting for her. It’s one of the most embarrassing situations he could be in. It’s souldestroying for him.
Is he happy when Emma steps in as his date?
He doesn’t really know her and he sees her as a bit too bubbly and loud.
What’s going through his head on the date?
It’s so awkward and Emma is really hamming it up so Chesney is dying inside. He also takes an instant dislike to Spike because he is rude. The whole thing is a nightmare for Chesney!
