Ever since she treated herself to a boob enhancement, marvellous Manc actress Gemma Atkinson has seen her glamour model career go into a different gear.
And although we're still upset that we'll no longer be able to follow her naughty late night antics in Hollyoaks: In the City, we can still look forward to Gem returning to our screens in Soapstar Superstar. We caught up with the lady who's convinced us that reality TV talent shows aren't so bad after all...
THE GEMMA ATKINSON XY GALLERY
I didn't steal Marcus he was single when we met. I am not so desperate to have a relationship with a guy who is already in a relationship.
Hi Gemma, do you have any New Years resolutions to tell XY about?
Yes, two in fact! My first resolution this year is not to drink as much alcohol, and then also to stop biting my nails.
You may be fit, but we bet you have at least one really annoying habit. Fancy telling us what it is?
My annoying habit is doing Alan Partridge impressions; Marcus Patric started me doing them.
Hollyoaks: In The City is being scrapped – how do you aim to fill that void in your life?
It wasn’t scrapped, three cast members decided to leave therefore the show could not go again. I will fill my time with Soap Star Superstar and hopefully other offers will come.
Will you be looking for a role that allows you to take your clothes off just as much?
Not necessarily, it would be nice to do some acting that does not require me to be in underwear. I have had several offers and meetings in the pipeline - watch this space!
Do you enjoy sex as much as your Hollyoaks in the City character?
No because I do not sleep with Marcus Patric in real life!!! Ha Ha
I have no similarities at all with my character Lisa Hunter…I would never escort for money.
Ever had any off-screen clinches with Marcus?
Think about it, could you work with Marcus Patric for 5 years and not have an off screen clinch….
Did you feel a bit bad about stealing (Charlton player) Marcus Bent from his missus?
I didn't steal Marcus he was single when we met. I am not so desperate to have a relationship with a guy who is already in a relationship.
