Biography
A reality television show regular, Gemma Atkinson is one of the most prominent celebrity glamour and lingerie models in the UK.
Originally from Bury, Greater Manchester, Gemma rose to fame playing Lisa Hunter on Channel 4 teen soap Hollyoaks.
After undergoing breast enlargement surgery in early 2006, which boosted her bra size to 34E, she soon became a popular feature in mens magazines including FHM, Loaded and Nuts.
Gemmas rising profile brought appearances on Celebrity Weakest Link, Celebrity Masterchef and ITVs Soapstar Superstar, but it was her stint in the Australian jungle on the 2007 series of Im A Celebrity
Get Me Out Of Here! that made her a household name.
Selected as the new face of Ultimos D-G lingerie range in 2007, Gemma will star in British independent film Boogie Woogie, alongside Heather Graham, in 2008 and has confirmed shes also planning a music career.
A string of high-profile relationships has ensured she remains tabloid fodder. She has been linked to Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo and is currently dating Wigan striker Marcus Bent.
