Gemma Atkinson is celebrating her birthday – and it’s safe to say she’s had some wild moments over the years.
The soap star is best known for playing Lisa Hunter in Hollyoaks and Carly Hope in Emmerdale. Gemma is also known for some of her racy photoshoots back in the day for the noughties lads’ mags.
She also put on her dancing shoes for BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing back in 2017 where she met her now fiancé professional dancer Gorka Marquez. Since then, the pair have had two children Mia, four, and Thiago, a few months old.

Daily Star has taken a sneak peek into blonde bombshell Gemma’s wildest moments and confessions from over the years.
Risky locations
Some rather racy revelations were spilled by Gemma’s ex-boyfriend Carl Benninon who once shared the ins and outs of their unusual sex life. He confessed that Gemma loved bonking in risky places and had done the deed in a lift, on a balcony and at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
The pair met when she was a promoter in Majorca in her teens and immediately hit it off. Carl told The People: “I had the time of my life with Gemma. I’d been with a lot of girls before but she was the ultimate.
“We pressed the button to stop the lift between floors and were in there for about 20 minutes having a lot of fun. It was mindblowing. Eventually, we heard some angry voices calling for the lift so we had to stop.
“But as soon as we got into the flat we went straight out to the balcony again. We ended up making love until eight in the morning.”
Ronaldo romance
Gemma also had a brief fling with Cristiano Ronaldo in 2007. Though things didn’t start off that kinky, as she revealed they got to know each other over a cuppa tea as they watched Only Fools and Horses.
The actress told Manchester Key 103 radio: “It was really, really glamorous. We just went to my house and drank cups of tea and watched Only Fools and Horses. Genuinely.
“I don’t know if he’s into it now but he seemed to enjoy it. Only Fools and Horses and cups of tea, he seemed to enjoy it then but I’m going back about six, seven years.
“With Cristiano, it was mad, because everywhere he went he was followed by photographers. When we did split up I got offered so much money to speak about him and I didn’t want that.”
Low libido
The radio presenter has more recently opened up about not feeling up to the bedroom task after having her second baby. Talking about her relationship with Strictly star Gorka while a few months postpartum, Gemma said: “He was away for three weeks up until last weekend, and I’d had my six week check by then, and she’d ok’ed me to kind of be intimate again with him again and stuff.
“Part of me was thinking ‘Oh my God, I can’t be arsed, I’m so tired, I just want to have a bath’. But the other half was thinking ‘it’s been so long’, because the last few months of pregnancy I was like ‘do not come near me’.
“So it’s that whole thing of reminding myself ‘Ok, I’m a fiancée, I was this before I was a mum’, and kind of pulling myself out of that, you know, big knickers, horrendous dressing gown, not washed for days vibe, into ‘right, he’s back for one night only, let’s kind of get back into it’.”
Chatting on the Made by Mammas podcast, Gemma added: “Thankfully when he got home, it was like half eleven at night, I said ‘Are you alright?’ He went ‘Yeah, I’m tired’. And I thought ‘Yes!'”
