I knew she was just a little younger than me so this doesn’t surprise me but she does look good for 40.

Never heard of the woman tbh

40 isn’t old! Gemma A has been around for years so I’m not surprised she’s almost 40.

Breadnjammy · 15/11/2024 19:13

She looks good but so do lots of 40 year olds who work out regularly

BleekHaus · 15/11/2024 19:15

She looks fantastic and it’s down to a lot of hard work, to be fair.

Tina159 · 15/11/2024 19:16

I remember her from Hollyoaks so it doesn't surprise me at all.

Struck by the Strictly curse..She got together with her pro partner after the show and they have a child together. Can't recall his name.

No she didn't. She married Gorka Marquez one of the other pros but he was not her partner on the show. Also the Strictly Curse tends to refer to those who already have partners and hook up whereas Gorka and Gemma were both single and free to date whoever they wished. They married and have 2 children actually.

He wasn’t her pro partner.

She is obviously disciplined with diet/training, but high end skincare and facials make a massive difference.

Whatthehellagain · 15/11/2024 19:30

She’s not stick thin which I think helps with wrinkles .

Nothatgingerpirate · 15/11/2024 19:32

Yes, easily, OP.
Some ladies are like this, not sure if hard work or exercise, definitely hereditary and other factors.
Granny and Mother in exactly the same club!
😁

Gymrabbit · 15/11/2024 19:33

Pretty sure they are not married, been engaged for years and have two children.
as others said he wasn’t her pro- partner (Gorka have been too short to be partnered with her) she was with Alijaz.
and agree with the OP- she’s a youthful 40.

Disturbia81 · 15/11/2024 19:34

40 isn't old these days, tons of people look good. I don't understand this "invisibility/feeling old" thing at all, I feel like I'm finally coming into myself in all areas in my 40s

Well now you have, and you have chosen to enter a discussion about her, so say thank you to OP for introducing you to something that interests and engages you.

EleanorRavenclaw · 15/11/2024 19:39

I see her around where we live. She’s naturally very pretty and seems very down to earth. Never seen Gorka though booo!

Bogginsthe3rd · 15/11/2024 19:41

She's basically a boomer

TheBigSalami · 15/11/2024 19:45

Is 40 old? I’m 52 and don’t think I look much older. I also had to Google as I’d never heard of her.

Wonderi · 15/11/2024 19:48

She looks absolutely amazing but she works really hard to look after herself and not in an unhealthy, body image obsessed way either.

She’s a fantastic role model and apparently really kind too.

Emmadaily · 15/11/2024 19:49

Yes Gemma Atkinson is so pretty and also been in Emmerdale to
Looks fantastic for 40 .

No idea who she is so had to google her.

She's a good looking woman who is, as far as I can gather, an influencer and former actress and glamour model, so safe to say her whole life is about how she presents herself and her looks.

She's not old, she's 40 and like a lot of 40 year old women looks like a 40 year old woman who looks after her appearance.
