The Emmerdale star reveals her gym-honed body as she takes a dip on holiday
GEMMA Atkinson shows off her incredible figure in a sexy swimsuit as she splashed around in the sea in Cape Verde.
The Emmerdale star turned 32 this week, and was celebrating with a luxury holiday abroad.
Her gym-honed body was on full display, and she showed off her enviable curves.
She gave onlookers a flash of her pert bottom, and revealed her impressive cleavage in her plunging swimming costume.
The pretty brunette looked toned and tanned as she soaked up the sun.
Meanwhile, she recently hit back at cruel bodyshamers by posting a sexy snap of her enviable abs.

The brunette star has been battling against online trolls branding her as "too big" or "not feminine" and her latest amazing picture comes just days after she was forced to comment on her figure on social media.
In the most recent post, Gemma can be seen in two images - one of her smiling in her workout wear leaving the gym and the other of her wearing black short pants and lifting up her top to reveal rock hard abs.
She wrote: "Lady in the street and a freak in the gym.
"Lifting weights will NOT make the average woman bulky.
"You may however find yourself with a perky ass, toned abs, strength, confidence and a positive outlook on life"
Her words come a day after the gym bunny indulged in a full page rant alongside a picture of herself at the TV Choice Awards and one displaying her tiny torso.
She said: "To the people who's awful comments I've deleted saying I'm "too big" or "not feminine" Go and educate yourself on how your muscles actually work
"These are obviously pics of my arms taken less then an hour apart except on the left pic I'm holding a bag, covered in moisturiser and stood under a light."
"It's a professional photo taken with a flash. The right pic I'm holding nothing, not under a light and not covered in moisturiser and no camera flash. It's THAT simple.
"Why do you think before a photo shoot some people lift weights to get a pump on, oil up and ask to be lit well??? Muscles look way more defined in pictures than in the flesh."
Gemma, who's best known for playing Lisa Hunter in Hollyoaks, continued: "I happen to LOVE my arms in both pics. I LOVE that I can look lady like and girly and at the same time I LOVE that I can lift heavy, punch hard and look a bad ass when I need to as well.
"Criticising someone because of how they look doesn't make you better.
"In fact, the stuff you are critical about in others is probably the stuff you hate about yourself. So rather than typing "your arms too big" just go and improve your own and try catch me up"
