Gemma Atkinson Biography

Gemma Louise Atkinson (born 17 October 1984 in Bury, Greater Manchester) is an English actress and glamour model. Gemma was born on November 16, 1984, in Bury, Greater Manchester, England. 

She went to Castlebrook High School, where she was very involved in school activities. She did quite a bit of athletics and was an avid sports fan. Obviously, she was an extremely popular girl and had a multitude of friends during her school years.

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. Gemma Atkinson was too into sports to be interested in modeling and acting in her younger years. Thus, it was Gemma's mom who introduced her to the glitz and glamour of acting and modeling by deceiving her into her first audition. Gemma started off in commercial acting and photographic modeling, and her natural beauty and adorable face quickly made her quite the commodity. 

In 2001, Gemma was cast for the role of Lisa Hunter on the acclaimed English television series Hollyoaks. Her role quickly propelled her into fame and illustriousness. There were few teenage boys who could not pick Gemma out of a lineup, and she was only 17 years old at the time. 

She appeared on Celebrity Weakest Link with Marcus Patric in December 2006, and has recently been seen as a contestant on ITV1's "Soapstar Superstar", reaching the last four stage.

Gemma soon became a staple of the Hollyoaks brand name. Because of the success of the show and Gemma’s unbelievably huge following, the producers launched Hollyoaks: After Hours in 2004. It was a short-lived program, but it turned Gemma from a teenage star into a sex symbol in matter of seconds. 

Since then, Gemma has appeared in two other spin-offs of Hollyoaks. In Hollyoaks: Let Loose, she continued to play the role of Lisa Hunter. However, as the title entails, Gemma’s role in this series was a lot more liberal. Gemma also starred in Hollyoaks: In the City, in which she once again played a more mature and compelling role. 

Glamour modelling: In early 2006, Atkinson underwent breast enlargement surgery, which took her chest to a 34F. She said in an interview that she lost weight due to a fitness regime but her bust slowly declined. She had the surgery to give them the original shape they once were. She is also a UK dress size 10, which means her waist is in the region of 27 inches.

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". Gemma also models underwear for anne summers and la senza.

Gemma Atkinson has grown into one of the most sexual and beautiful models and actresses in England. Her glamorous looks and her enhanced bust have made her a sex symbol that just about every men’s magazine is interested in photographing; that’s why she has been featured in just about every English magazine there is. From Arena and Zoo Weekly to Maxim and Loaded, Gemma is letting herself receive much-deserved exposure.

Gemma’s open, liberal personality has been a great quality in her career. It allowed her to expand upon a show that was limiting her talents and to turn her acting occupation into a superstar modeling career. She also used her open and sexual personality to seize a journalistic opportunity when she agreed to become Zoo Weekly’s regular sex and relationships columnist. 

Personal life: Gemma has dated former Emmerdale actor, Cleveland Campbell. She used to date footballer Marcus Bent of Charlton

More recently, she has been linked to the Portuguese international and Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo. She admitted to dating Ronaldo on the May 19th 2007 edition of sports show Soccer AM, although in the football magazine "FourFourTwo" he denied knowing her. Cristiano's elder sister Katia (also known as Ronalda, her artist-name) also denied the claims saying that Cristiano currently has no girlfriends at all. According to press reports she was also linked to "Soapstar Superstar" contestants Mark Furze, & Leon Lopez.
