Gemma Atkinson

[TriviaNewtonJohn]

I like her as well. He workouts are really good and she sends a good message about reasons to exercise.

 

[Platformcrocs]

She seems really lovely. And where do I start with Gorka... erm

 

[Not_A_Troll]

They won’t be done “ethically” or we would have heard about it by now.

I have to agree, they would have made a really big deal about it if they were ethical and sustainable

 

[Asgyui]

Besides the blue/green joggers she wears to workout out in, it seems like she doesn't wear any of the other bits.

I like that she often shares her workouts, despite the fact she is probably paying her trainers for these personalised plans.

 

[ShimmyNE]

I live Gemma, she’s a really genuine girl. I felt the ITS was away from her usual - she doesn’t need all the smoke & mirrors. But I guess a deals a deal?! I like her GA workout clothes but I don’t think the ITS will be as good quality. I hope she doesn’t stop her own brand

 

[They See Me Trolling...]

I too was so disappointed when I saw that the big announcement was an ITS range.
Gemma is very passionate about animals and the planet so I don’t understand her decision to collaborate with a fast fashion company.
The heavy make up and hair just didn’t seem like her. Although I don’t ordinarily think about the fact that she isn’t wearing make up in her stories because it’s just her being herself.
If she has managed to persuade them to do it ethically it would probably have been a complicated deal to make.

They won’t be done “ethically” or we would have heard about it by now.

 

[Cupcakemum]

I can’t believe that guff she has just posted

Digging herself quite the hole isn't she and basically saying that if she can't control a situation then she'll lock living things away as a punishment

And before the dog police come for me, I've nothing against crates. Mine has one, but it's never used as punishment

 

[strawberrysunshine_x]

Absolutely, and whatever works! That's much better than locking the poor thing up
---

Can I ask what she was advertising/ doing? I've only ever noticed the clothing and dishwasher tabs (that would have been tested on animals)

I've Italian in me and have the very short fuse, and both sides of my family are very blunt, which I've also inherited, but I'm also an adult and and curb my behaviour amd attitude appropriately.
Thats made me sad to think that Mia may be afraid of him. That's not teaching respect or boundaries, that's just teaching fear, lying, not getting caught and not trusting a parent... been there done that with one of my parents. I loved them, but I always covered my tracks and never quite knew where I stood

I’m the same. My mum is a teacher my dad is a cop so they were soooo strict when growing up. Me and my brother used to lie to them so much as teens. I used to keep things from them as well cos I knew they’d kick off. My dad used to suffer from migraines. He had an accident at work and banged his head and had horrible migraines but he used to be so grumpy with them and shout at us so much and it used to scare me.

I understand where she’s coming from with not letting them in your bed as it can be annoying but as parents isn’t it our job to make sure they’re safe and comfortable. Look how she said she let Mia in the bed when gorka isn’t there. She kept repeatingit saying when gorka is there she’s not allowed in their bed. Poor Mia

 

[twilightgarden]

Don’t understand her ITS collab at all, she already has her own activewear brand. I’m a bit disappointed but still like her overall. Looks like Gorka is bringing out a range of fitness clothing too

 

[HumphreyB]

Yes loved Gemma since hollyoaks, feel like she's been a good influence throughout my life. Now do nice to see someone so down to earth on Instagram. Her focus on health and wellbeing is great rather than diet culture. She calls out bad things in the best way possible. Do wish she was on TV again someone like her would be good on loose women, they need a younger fresher attitude

I totally agree. Its refreshing. She is such a positive female role model.

 

[HumphreyB]

I love Gemma. She seems so down to earth and normal which I love. She shows Mia but isn’t trying to cash in on the whole being a parent thing which I also respect. I just wish I had half her energy and passion for working out her stories do make my lazy ass feel guilty!!

I love the fact she openly admits that times she doesnt want to work out and even does quick 30 min sessions. She has the space at home too which makes it a little more convenient but I love her honestly around it all

 

[LowCalCalzoneZone]

Did anyone see Gemma and Gorka on Steph's Packed Lunch yesterday? They were great, and I liked the way Gemma deals with all the Strictly press nonsense - she genuinely doesn't seem to be bothered about it at all

 

[RandomMess]

me!! I think she's brilliant! So down to earth and genuine.

She adores that little girl and doesn't shove the phone on her face the way some celebs do.

She loves her dogs and keeps the child away from them when they're wanting peace.

Her fiance is hot hot hot.... as is she!!

What's not to like?

 

[Lucia]

I'm so disappointed by this ITS is such a problematic brand so unethical. I guess everyone can be bought

 

[secretlondoner]

She doesn’t take kindly to anyone questioning her. I learned the hard way after sending her a very polite DM when she posted something I thought was ‘off-brand’. Her response was surprisingly heavy-handed to my polite & qualified comment. Needless to say I no longer follow & I’m definitely not a fan!

You see, I'm of the belief that it's rude to send messages commenting on things they do. You say it was polite but I don't think there is a way to say "the thing you posted wasn't on brand for you" -it's essentially saying I only want you to show me what I believe you to be.

They aren't commodities or characters on a TV show. They're human beings.

 

[Whatsallthis]

Thank you! That’s understandable. I’d love to see what sort of wedding she’d have, although I suspect she’ll keep the press out of it

She’s said they will get married in Spain for Gorka’s family and the language barrier they'd have coming here. I think th et had planned to be married by now but the pandemic put hold on their plans.

 

[TapToBoreMeRigid]

I stopped following. She isn't a good enough actor to convince me she believes what she's saying. It's embarrassing.

 

[LowCalCalzoneZone]

Ahh I’m so disappointed I do love Gemma and this seems so different to who she actually is. I can only hope she had some stipulations when it came to how it’s manufactured etc but who knows? I think Gemma always looks amazing, even in her gym wear but a lot of this isn’t even flattering on her.

Genuinely curious about the quality, as I remember she said with her own range, she wouldn't put her name to stuff that hadn't passed her gym test (and fair play, the leggings I bought were good quality and have lasted for ages)

Agree with the comments about the pics - they've made her look like everyone else on their site. The photos Gorka took of her were so much better. I do like Gemma and she generally seems to have sound judgement about stuff but not sure about this...ah well

 

[Lucia]

I'm really disappointed in Gemma for this fast Fashion and ITS drops wasn't something I'd of thought she'd do.

 

[Mabels1986]

I own quite a few bits from her G A range and the quality is so good. So i was shocked to see she has gone with ITS as quite frankly their clothing is cheap tat.
