Ex-Hollyoaks star Gemma Atkinson to star in Bollywood thriller Fever

BOLLYWOOD-bound Gemma Atkinson shows some front after trolls criticised her weight.

Fitness buff Gemma, 31, revealed online bullies called her physique manly after she gained muscle due to her gruelling regime.

But she will show her broad shoulders by stripping down for her Bollywood debut in upcoming thriller Fever.

No doubt her recent split from fitness trainer Olly Foster will be a weight off her shoulders, as she shares an intimate scene with co-star Rajeev Khandelwal.

Foster first encouraged her to get her Atkins on and begin lifting weights to achieve her sculpted figure.

But the actress, who also dated fitness fanatic Cristiano Ronaldo and martial arts instructor Liam Richards, says she’s enjoying the single life.

Despite her overseas commitment, Atkinson will continue playing Carly Hope in Emmerdale, having begun acting as Hollyoaks’ Lisa Hunter in 2001.
