If you don’t know who Gemma Hunt is, then ask your children or your grandchildren! The CBeebies presenter explains how she was given a prophetic word about being salt and light in the media.
Entertaining children day in day out may be in her job description, but CBeebies star Gemma Hunt is also determined to shine a light in the media industry. Gemma has found CBeebies fame through numerous characters, but as she turned 33 on April Fool’s this year, she is expecting this to be her ‘Jesus Year’.
“It was a hugely significant year for Jesus’ ministry, so I’m hoping for big things this year too,” she explains.
While you might not be familiar with Gemma Hunt if you haven’t been around young children over the past 12 years, she’s now one of the big stars of the BBC’s pre-school channel CBeebies, having cut her teeth on the primary school equivalent CBBC.
She’s enjoyed entertaining people from an early age, but when she was 16 she had an experience at the Soul Survivor Christian festival that confirmed the direction she was meant to take.
“Someone said they had a prophetic word for me that I would be salt and light in the dark place of the media,” she recalls.
“I really felt it was what I was meant to do. I was so excited at 16 to receive that message. It gave me something to hold on to and helped shape my choices.”
