Gemma has said that she wanted to "deal with her emotions" away from social media following the break-up.
The dressage star, who alongside Luca was a finalist on this year's Love Island, has also insisted she is "doing okay".
Laying back on a grey sofa, Gemma said in the video: " I'm a bit behind with all of my content side of things because I took a few days off social media, obviously, after my announcement.
"I just didn't feel like posting. I wasn't up for posting. I just wanted to deal with my own emotions away from all of that.

"But now I feel like I've got to start again, get going with everything."
Gemma made her YouTube return with a video title 'Come and spend a few horsey days with me'.
It shows her visiting an equestrian factory to design and make her own riding hat.
But she admitted that making the video was "challenging".

"When you're not feeling 100 per cent - like, I'm okay, I'm doing okay - but when you're not feeling absolutely yourself, and when you're having to be on camera, it's been a little bit challenging," Gemma said.
"But I'm going to push through. It's all good."
Gemma and Luca shocked fans last month when the PLT ambassador announced that they had gone their separate ways.
A message posted on her Instagram read: "I wanted to let you know that Luca and I are no longer in a relationship.
"It wasn’t an easy decision but ultimately this is what is best for both of us right now.
"Many of you have been on this journey with us from the beginning and I want to thank you for your continued support as a new chapter starts."
Gemma has since thrown herself into work and even squeezed in a trip to Los Angeles.
Luca, meanwhile, took his broken heart to Switzerland for a winter holiday. But it was cut short after his family's home in Brighton was broken into by burglars.

Luca has also remained tight-lipped on his break-up with Gemma, but has reached out to fans who had sent him supportive messages.
While also revealing he had got a new pet dog, the former fishmonger posted on his Instagram account: "Glad this week is over. Thank you for all the kind messages."
