Gemma Atkinson Talks About Her Body Image

For Kate Moss or Kate Beckinsale, it may be something else. But for the British glamour model Gemma Atkinson, good body image means big boobs and curvy hips.

In her recent interview with Nuts Magazine, Gemma Atkinson had a long talk with body image issues. She candidly speaks about the importance of her breast surgery and body curves.

Here are excerpts from her interview:

“I’m an E cup now, which is pretty big, but not too big for my frame. I’m tall with a strong body, so I don’t look too top heavy. I have to say that having my boobs done hasn’t given me a taste for surgery. I’d never have it done to my face and liposuction is lazy - I’d rather work weight off at the gym. My clothes have changed a lot since I got new breasts two years ago, and I’ve done a calendar with my new assets. People keep saying they’re massive but they’re the same size as they were before - I’ve just lost loads of weight and had my boobs put back to the same size. I read somewhere that they were double-F, but if they were, I wouldn’t be able to walk! I was really surprised at how much coverage they got the enlargement. It felt like the nation was obsessed with them!”

“...I’d hate to be too skinny. Skinny girls just look ill to me. When I was younger, all the girls wanted to be like Kate Moss, but I wanted to look like Jet from Gladiators or Xena: Warrior Princess! I come from a surdy northern stock. I’m like my mum and my sister - we’re all broad-shouldered with strong legs and curves. I’ve never been fat but when I got asked to do my first men’s mag, I was aware I was carrying too much weight. I had a pot belly and big hamster cheeks! The Hollyoaks producers were brilliant and never put me under pressure to lose weight, but I knew that if I was going to start to do bikini and lingerie shoots, I’d need to improve my figure.”

Well, we are all entitled to our own opinions. And Gemma Atkinson seemed to be happy with her body image. For one, she is making the most out of the way she looks.
