Gemma Atkinson (born 17 October 1984 in Bury, Greater Manchester) is an English actress and glamour model.
Biography
Originally from Manchester, Atkinson took her GCSEs at Castlebrook High School. Afterwards, she became a commercial and photographic model.
Acting
Atkinson rose to fame playing Lisa Hunter on the teenage soap opera Hollyoaks. She and Marcus Patric (Ben Davies in Hollyoaks) subsequently appeared in a spin-off series called 'Hollyoaks: Let Loose, in which their characters start a new life living together in Chester. This has been followed up with Hollyoaks: In the City, in which their characters return home and set up again in Liverpool.
Atkinson also played Goldie Lookin Chain's love interest in their video 'R'n'B'. She also features on the cover of the single.
Atkinson has recently been seen as a contestant on ITV1's "Soapstar Superstar" and Celebrity Weakest link.
Glamour modelling
In early 2006, Atkinson underwent breast enlargement surgery, which took her chest to a 34D[1].
Since launching her parallel career as a glamour model, Atkinson has appeared in provocative photoshoots in lingerie and swimwear, including non-nude topless shots, for men's magazines such as Arena, FHM, Loaded, Maxim, Zoo Weekly and Nuts. In October 2006 she appeared in three of the aforementioned magazines in one month, becoming one of the most prolific celebrity glamour models in the UK. In November 2006, it was announced by Zoo Weekly that Atkinson had agreed to become their regular "sex and relationships columnist".
In a recent interview with Loaded she even went as far as to exhort male readers to "knock one out" over the photos of her displayed in her calendar.
The Official Gemma Atkinson calender 2007 is currently avaliable.
Personal life
After dating former Emmerdale star Cleveland Campbell, press reports suggested that Atkinson shared her Cheshire home with Charlton Athletic striker Marcus Bent. Bent broke off his engagement to fiancee Kelly Clark - mother of his two-year-old daughter - after meeting Gemma at a party just months before a planned wedding[3]. Atkinson and Bent became regulars on the Manchester club scene, with numerous tabloid recorded rows over her drinking.[4]
Most recently Atkinson has been linked to Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo, and according to press reports to fellow "Soapstar Superstar" contestant Mark Furze[5].
