Listen Later

Gemma Atkinson a Radio Presenter, Actress and best known for her love and dedication to health and fitness, her love of animals and their welfare, as well as her passion for family and encouraging a healthy, happy and balanced lifestyle. Host of weekdays on Hits Radio Drive Time, Gemma's a firm favourite on the airwaves and hosts her own podcast 'The Overshare' now in it’s second series. She first gained national recognition as an actress playing controversial character Lisa Hunter in Hollyoaks and then moved onto regular roles in 'Casualty' and Emmerdale. Gemma also danced her way to the final of BBC's Strictly Come Dancing in December 2017, where she met her fiancé Gorka and they now have 2 beautiful children.


In this episode we hear all about Gemma's spiritual side and her outlook on life, it's challenges and knowing what's in and out of our control. She opens up about not stressing about the things we cannot change and how she believes in the diving timing and the belief that everything in your life happens at exactly the right moment. Her three Sliding Doors Moments include: her mum telling her she was going to a dentist appointment that was actually a meeting at a modelling agency that built her whole career path, her dad's passing at the age of 17 and the incredible moment that felt meant to be, and how Oprah is the reason she said yes to Strictly, met Gorka and had her children!
