Gemma Atkinson lands film role

Ex-Hollyoaks actress to hit the big screen

Gemma Atkinson has landed her first ever film role.

The 22-year-old, who played Lisa Hunter in C4 soap Hollyoaks, will be starring alongside Austin Powers actress Heather Graham and shooting will take place in the UK.

Gemma is hoping that the opportunity will help her career to skyrocket.

'I realised that I wanted to get back into acting,' she tells the Daily Star. 'I am filming my first feature film in London, which is absolutely great.'

Since finishing at Hollyoaks in 2005, Gemma has appeared in spin-offs Hollyoaks: Let Loose and Hollyoaks In The City with co-star Marcus Patric.

She also reached the final stage of ITV's Soapstar Superstar and, in 2006, boosted her boobs to a 34D, which paved the way for a career as a glamour model.

The lads' mags' favourite has recently been named as the new face of Ultimo's D-G range.
