Jemma's in a new drama
July 19, 2008 12:00am
FORMER lipgloss queen Jemma Gawned is puckering up for her first small-screen close-up after guest-starring in the Channel 7 drama City Homicide.
While the one-time Big Brother inmate won several fans in the cast, there was little chance of her role on the crime series being extended.
That's because Gawned plays a young mother who is murdered in the episode, airing Monday, with the City Homicide team working to find her killer.
However, Gawned is interested in pursuing an acting career beyond her stiff role, telling Confidential she "had an absolute ball" on the show.
"I've got a great agent in Sydney and would love to do more Australian drama," she said.
