Biography
Originally from
Manchester, Atkinson took her GCSEs at Castlebrook High School. Afterwards, she
became a 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 to the UK and set up home 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 will be appearing in the new series of ITV 1's
"Soapstar Superstar" which returns on 5 January 2007.
Glamour modelling
In early 2006, Atkinson
underwent breast enlargement surgery, which took her chest to a 34D[1]. She is
currently planning another operation to further increase her chest size in
summer 2007[citation needed].
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 [2]
Personal life
After dating former
Emmerdale star Cleveland Campbell[citation needed], some rumours state that
Atkinson presently shares 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 are
regular on the Manchester club scene, with numerous tabloid recorded rows over
her drinking[4].
