gemma atkinson : Most liked Posts

Met her in Magaluf about 20 years ago taking gear in the toilet. She got a nose bleed, there was no toilet roll. She whipped off her knickers n blew her nose on them

They are this much into fitness because she's trying to do it to keep him, and he's trying to do it to avoid her. What a stupid system instead of just fucking splitting up and going to find your real happiness. He needs some vapid svelte little dancer with no responsibilities and she needs a decent family bloke who shows up, is a good laugh, and she can have a curry and a beer with of a Saturday night, without belittling her.

Awkward when a random squirrel comes to your home more often than your partner does

I have read both her threads in the past week. I used to really like Gemma. I found her attitude towards her post baby body refreshing. I even bought her first workout book. She definitely took her time to get back to working out after having Mia. I’m sure she was just doing walks with Mia and the dogs for ages. She seemed to build up slowly.

But then i started to get really irritated by her lack of awareness around her privilege. The amount of support she had from family, the home gym, a relatively easy, healthy baby etc. I don’t begrudge any mum getting help, there is no need for mothers to struggle if they don’t need to, but I hate it when there is no acknowledgment (on her kind of platform) that she’s bloody lucky to have the help she does have.

So I could no longer relate to her as a solo mum with no support to a severely disabled child not much older than Mia. So I stopped following her. Never found a thread on here at the time so thought it was just me being sensitive about my situation.

I only occasionally saw things about her if she made the sidebar of shame. The pub comment was vile towards other women. It’s one thing to have a joke at your own expense but she was having a joke at the expense of other women who had what she couldn’t have (vaginal birth).

Anyway reading the threads I saw I missed a lot of things like her locking Mia in her room, not allowing her in their bed, the photos on the beach etc.

I think the armchair psychologist in me thinks she’s emotionally unavailable. She seems to display toxic positivity where she can’t even express her disappointment that she wanted a vaginal birth but had to have a C-section. Hence the crude pub joke.

It’s actually ok to be disappointed that your birth didn’t go the way you had hoped. You can be thankful and appreciative that you and your baby are healthy and the C-section was the right decision AND be disappointed that it wasn’t a natural birth. But she seems to be unable to express that? Maybe I missed it though.

Emotionally unavailable parents are really damaging to children, and if she’s doing things like locking Mia in her bedroom or when she’s older doing the same toxic positivity spin on things when her children come to her with their problems and disappointments then I worry for those children.

Sorry that was so long!!

Thread suggestion:

Gemma Atkinson #6 - we've seen her abs more than Gorka has seen the kids.

I know we don’t like her but saying she’s fat is a bit of a stretch!!
The cut and material of the dress is so unflattering though. She needs to sack the stylist and get someone who dresses her in a more classy style. With her height and body shape she could look amazing. This just looks trashy.

And if Punam is on Morning Live, isn’t that filmed in Manchester, can Gorka STILL not make it home?! He could be given a dance partner who lives in the same postcode, get booted out in week one and he’d still not make it home for three months.

Mate, he could be paired with Gemma and he'd still find an excuse not to go home

Thread suggestion:

Gemma Atkinson #4 - She's not bothered guys, it's ALL FINE! There's an expert for everything at the end of her phone line!

I'm absolutely disgusted with these comments. Women are becoming more and more worried about their V ag iinas and comments like this about women and their bodies are absolutely vile. Thought she was about body positivity? Apparently its all about pleasing men? And Gem for most women their vagi nnas are exactly the same post birth. The only thing that isn't neat is your disgusting personality .

had to make sure her abs were fully on show too. The kids have seen Gemma’s abs more than they’ve seen their dad

Nominate this for the next thread title!

Here we go, it’s turned into bloody mumsnet. We’ll have someone on here soon saying they had their dummy dipped in booze to make them sleep as a baby and were fine, so what’s the problem with doing it with their baby.

You do you, every baby is different, blah blah blah. The point is Gemma paints herself as an expert, with books and tv shows. She has a platform and shouldn’t be promoting things that are actively against established NHS advice. You know, the stuff backed up by scientific research.

I’m not bilingual so don’t know much about it but thought the way to teach was just by talking to them in a second language like you just talk to them in English
They seem to teach her like it’s a specific Spanish lesson hence why she says she can count to ten and isn’t just having this conversation actually in Spanish

Not to show off, but my kids can speak English, Polish (my mother tongue) and a little of French. But obviously I am a very selfish mother, because I don't exercise. And the selfishness comes from being a single mum who works full time as a teacher, looks after 3 kids, and the house, pays all the bills herself, cooks, cleans, and does other selfish things in order not to be swallowed by the cost-of-living crisis.. I only do it because I am selfish, not because I love my kids.
I used to like Gemma, I thought she is real. No more. I do not need to know her hair is greasy or what happens with my/her/your uterus after the birth. I am sorry, but I just have other things to do, because I need to go to a proper job. How selfish of me?!! I am not a prude; I am quite blunt, however, the constant remarks about her (nonexistent) sex life, described in a very gutter-y way, do not appeal to me.
When I leave my home at 7 in the morning and I am back around 5-6p.m. my selfish ass starts the tea for the kids, does the washing and other selfish things like doing homework with my kids. And then when my kids go to their bedroom, I sit with my laptop and plan lessons for the next day, week or whatever. I might actually follow Gemma's suit and go to the gym, rather than cook. Please, I do not want to be a selfish mother! (insert crying emojis).
Do you all think I still have a chance to be a good mother?

Feck off Gemma. I am actually so disappointed in you.

The patronising comment on the ice bath post about how some women miss a glass of wine but she's missed her ice baths. 'We're all different!'

Yes Gemma, you are an enormous bellend.

Imagine comparing her situation to military families. Gorka is away dancing for a few weeks, he’s not even out the country, is only ever a short train journey away, can go home any time he has a break in his schedule (he just chooses not to), can phone/FaceTime the family pretty much whenever he likes. Does she honestly think this is anything like your partner being away for many months of the year, abroad, in potentially dangerous situations and just having to wait until they can get in touch with you? Give yourself a shake Gemma.

what a passive way of telling everyone she’s breast feeding, and she’s such a successful feeder that she’s got it to waste. Trivago will be lifting 20kg at his 6 week check up cos her colostrum is extra fortified with avocado.

I used to bloody love her, found her really genuine and authentic. Like someone I could have a laugh with down the pub. But then last year she posted pictures of Mia on holiday topless and I didn’t like it, but no one else seemed to have the same concern as me. Then as the months went on she became a shadow of the person she once was (imo, bit dramatic I agree haha). She then signed with ITS, and it just went downhill. She became super preachy, I saw the obsession of her workouts and how she was selling her daughters childhood and I just didn’t like it at all, and she posted MORE topless photos of her daughter online. I could no longer resonate with her and then I found this thread and found people had agreed with me all along, but just didn’t have an outlet hahaha. So thank you tattle!!

I think we know what Lil G thinks of her taking two days off her strict diet…

I’m 99% sure that poster was just joking and being sarcastic

Why is it that no matter what happens to her she’s always a smug little bitch about it.

had she had a Vbac and a Fanny ripped to shreds she would have been smug as she didn’t have an elective c section and would be back training by next week whilst breast feeding the baby blah blah blah making c section Mums feel shite.

but because this didn’t happen she now makes all us ‘natural’ birth Mums feel like we’re kicking about with some massacred fajita between our legs.
Fuck off Gemma, we all produce our babies in the best way possible for them and us, absolutely no need for all the smugness
