Fortunately no one was hurt, but Gemma was worried for the dog's welfare.
Speaking on her Instagram stories, Gemma said: "I'm just driving home, I've pulled over, I can't get out, I've got Mia with me.
"Just going down a dual carriage way and a little Chihuahua, a Chihuahua, has ran out into the road.
"Oh my god. It wasn't with anyone, it ran across, it had no collar on.

"I've circled around, and obviously I can't see it and I can't get out and look for it because I've got Mia with me."
The pet was playing on her mind even as she returned home, prompting her to record a follow-up video in another attempt to reunite it with its owner.
She said: "A Chihuahua, it could have just got out couldn't it? I couldn't get out, could I?

Despite becoming parents quite quickly into their relationship, Gemma told The Sun recently that they still have a lot of romance in their relationship.
She said: “People have said to us that after having a baby the passion goes, but I don’t think the passion for him could ever go.
“It’s still there, just sometimes it’s not a priority because you’re tired and you’ve got a baby.

"If we’ve got a night free and Real Madrid are playing, Gorka goes into the spare room and speaks to his Spanish mates on FaceTime while the game’s on, and I love that because I can put some Epsom salts in a bath and relax.

"Some people try to force the fact that they’ve got a night free so have to be intimate… but if that’s forced, it’s not worthwhile anyway.
"We’re at such a comfortable stage whereby I can do the whole sexy underwear thing and it’ll be great, but equally I can also come in with baby sick on a baggy T-shirt and greasy hair and it’ll still be fine.”
