Gemma Atkinson and Davinia Taylor reminisce on Hollyoaks as they unite for International Women's Day

And naturally there were some memories shared of their time on the Chester-set soap. The stars were among a host of ladies heading out to Menagerie bar on New Bailey to support events guru Julie Perry's annual International Women's Day charity lunch.
