Gemma Atkinson Flaunts Toned Figure in Red Swimsuit, Reflects on Embracing Ageing

Gemma covers the latest issue of Women's Health UK

Gemma Atkinson, the former Hollyoaks star and fitness enthusiast, recently celebrated turning 40 and showcased her toned physique in a stunning red cut-out one-piece swimsuit. The milestone comes just 17 months after she and her partner, Strictly Come Dancing pro Gorka Márquez, welcomed their second child, Thiago.

Speaking to Women’s Health UK for their January/February issue, Gemma shared her empowering perspective on ageing:

"The alternative to ageing is being dead. So, I’m all about embracing ageing as best as I can. There’s no point fighting it. No one’s getting out of here alive. You may as well make the most of it.”

Since 2023, Gemma and Gorka have co-hosted their reality show, Gemma and Gorka: Life Behind the Lens, available on W and UKTV Play. The series offers a glimpse into their personal and professional lives, resonating with audiences and becoming the channel’s most-watched show.

Discussing the possibility of a third season, Gemma revealed:

"We're currently in talks to do it, but we keep thinking, why do people want to keep watching us doing nothing? But it did really well; it was the biggest show on their channel, so possibly."

Gemma continues to inspire fans with her refreshing outlook on life, dedication to fitness, and honest take on balancing family and career.
