Gemma Atkinson shows off her tiny waist as she hikes in a bikini at £800-a-week juice diet retreat in Portugal
The former Emmerdale star showed off her incredible figure in a sexy two piece
GEMMA Atkinson flaunts her incredibly toned figure as she soaks up the sun in Portugal.
The former Emmerdale babe is currently enjoying an £800 a week break at a juice detox retreat.
The soap star shared snaps of herself hiking in just a tiny bikini.
The two piece showed off her muscly frame as she walked through the forest.
Gemma has worked hard to get her rock hard abs and toned thighs, and is regularly sharing snaps of herself busy in the gym.
It was also recently revealed that she now wants to be a cage fighter.
The super-fit northern actress practises Thai boxing three times a week and is now keen to move into MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) and UFC championship contests.
After playing gentle and kind soul Carly Hope on Emmerdale, it’ll be a major change of tack for Gemma, who’s always been known for her gym addiction.
The stunning telly star, who’s studied karate since the age of 10, said: “To master one martial art, in my opinion, is very difficult.
“Someone whop can do floor work and grappling, Brazilian jiu-jitsu as well as regular boxing and wrestling, just all in one, for an MMA fight, I think that’s fantastic.
“I started with kickboxing and when you see UFC on TV and you see these guys doing amazing stuff, you realise ‘Oh my gosh, there’s actually so much more I can learn’.”

She added that she will be using her time off from acting to train for MMA fights, saying she hopes in the future to become a female role model in this field.
The 32-year-old added: “I don’t fight, obviously, because of my work. I don’t think ITV would allow it, being all bruised up.
“But I think more women should do it.
“The thing I admire about men and women that train is that it’s not just a sport but a lot of hard sports.
“It’s great to be able to defend yourself, feel good and not be scared… get on with it.”
