Gemma Atkinson

Feels like Gemma has been pregnant for ages this time!! Glad baby is here and all seems to be well.

I'm normally on the Lorna Luxe threads making fun of her ITS 'collections' but seen this and WTF is this about, and what has happened to Gemma's face? I really like Gemma a lot, like you guys I was shocked that she went with ITS in the first place but this strange range of outfits is bizarre.

She best not go anywhere near any open flames...! The pattern is awful aswell as the material

Her house looks lovely and a nice setting too. I wonder where Helen and Gorka are training for Strictly, as Helen is living with her parents up in Carlisle and doesn't Gemma live Bury way, surely he's not doing a 4 hour round trip each day. I guess it might be worth is to spend half the week at home instead of down in London like previous years

Thiago Thomas Marquez

Lovely name!

 

[Bol85]

All i can imagine is Thiago being said in the strong Mancunian accent Gemma & Mia have

 

[Bagpuss7]

Yes to all of this! I really loved her before she signed with ITS. Sold her soul at that point and I reluctantly unfollowed her. It sucks cos she generally seems unproblematic and not too grabby - and her family is gorgeous.

Exactly this but I'm still following her. She's neck deep with ITS as she has another collection coming, I'm guessing they offered her more money than she could turn down which is really sad.

 

[Cupcakemum]

Really disappointed!! They are a fast fashion company, more than likely paying next to nothing to the factory workers, most of it I'm sure ends up in the bin after a few wears. She has her GA leggings etc. No, not on board with this and really surprised she has teamed up with them

I feel the same and I really rated her. Their animal ethics aren't the greatest either, so it feels slightly hypocritical of her.
She did say she was nervous and now I see why.

Although she did disappoint me a while back when she advertised dishwashing tablets made by P&G, so maybe her own morals and ethics aren't that strong after all

Thanks Gemma, when is the new ITS collection out?

I mean I think that's fair enough: I don't think anyone would describe ITS as high fashion tbf.

 

[Sandyclaws]

It's also quite possible they have had a marriage ceremony privately for the legal side and will do they celebratory side in Spain as outlined above

 

[Saddlesoap]

Really sad to see Gemma posting about her sisters new dog. Thought she'd be more clued up on how much these dogs suffer

 

[dee_mc]

Not being funny but her latest story about if she gave into to Mia’s crying she’d end up raising a spoilt child with no social skills who doesn’t have any friends… how would she know this? This is her first time raising a child lmao.

As a sometimes judgmental non parent I think she's right about needing to put the foot down when they're young if you don't want them to be arseholes when they're older - you do observe patterns of behaviour in how friends and family interact with their kids IMO, whether you have kids yourself or not.
(I didn't watch her stories so not commenting on her tone etc, just on what you've quoted above)

 

[Bol85]

What is that coat thing?! I’m hardly the most fashionable person but wtf?!

 

[hellogrrrl]

I absolutely looove the work she does with the dog rehoming stuff. If only more people with her following done similar stuff, we wouldn’t have as many animals languishing in rehoming centres for as long.

Yes more of this less of PLT crap!!!

 

[Blair-Waldorf]

She must be skint why else would she do it

 

[They See Me Trolling...]

This comment seemed a bit weird to me, bit like a Look How Much I Know Dogs flex.

I’ve never had spaniels but it’s true of most dogs. If its owner fell in they’d go in after it. Not weird at all.

 

[They See Me Trolling...]

I don’t know why it irritates me so much but when she talks about stuff Gorka has said she puts on a voice and accent - I find it so rude! If I was telling somewhat what an Indian person said to me and did that I’d be called racist!

 

[Miss_noseyparker67]

I seem to remember Supernanny Jo Frost doing the door shutting technique on tv, sooo.....

 

[Lilykins]

I just wish I had an even half her motivation and stamina exercise wise. The fact she gets up at 5am to exercise 🫣

This is the review for In The Style by Good On You who rate brands based on their ethics. Only a 3 out of 5 rating for animal welfare.

"In The Style's environment rating is 'very poor'. It uses few eco-friendly materials. There is no evidence it reduces its carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions. There is no evidence it has taken meaningful action to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals. There is no evidence it implements water reduction initiatives.

Its labour rating is 'not good enough'. It has a Code of Conduct that covers all of the ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles. There is no evidence it implements purchasing practices to provide financial security for its suppliers. There is no evidence it ensures payment of a living wage in its supply chain. It audits some of its supply chain but does not specify what percentage. It does not disclose any policies or safeguards to protect suppliers and workers in its supply chain from the impacts of COVID-19.

Its animal rating is 'it's a start'. It has a formal animal welfare policy aligned with Five Freedoms. It uses leather. It states that it sources wool from non-mulesed sheep. It does not use fur, down, angora or exotic animal skin. There is no evidence it traces animal products to the first stage of production.

In The Style is rated 'Not good enough' overall."

 

[Bol85]

She is the host of the whole series. I think she’s fine overall but dear god, who decided to make her sing. She just shouts!

I love Gemma but that is one talent she does not have
