The 24-year-old said: "I am not doing any shoots this year.
"I finished 'Hollyoaks', which was amazing, but I don't want to do soap again - I want the next step up."
But the Bury lass isn't just going to rely on her looks and amazing acting skills, she's having elocution lessons to make her posh, like.
She said: "I made a decision to take a year out from the modelling. I wanted to audition and take acting classes - I want to start afresh. I have been coming down to London to meet with my acting coach and to have elocution lessons. Then I went to the States and worked over there."
"You can't just expect to have done a Channel 4 soap and become a movie star, so I have had to start all over again."
You can say that again. Chances of Gemma Atkinson making it as an actress? Probably similar to Kelly Brook getting another TV presenting job.
We could have chosen any pics of Gemma, but for some reason were drawn to the bikini ones, not sure why.

She looks really classy
If she works hard, she might be able to follow in the footsteps of Jodie Albert.
Don't you mean Jodie Marsh??
No, Jodie Albert. Used to be in Hollyoaks. Left to make it big in America. Didn't.
She looks like Steven Gerrard.
Think she's got a great chance - there's a real shortage of dopey blondes with oversized silicon yams out there - she could corner the market!!
Ughhhh, I've just cum.........., twice.........
actually 3 times..............
Average looking girl with over-sized norks. Ten a penny in any nightclub. In that case, bound to be a star...
I have still to work out the fascination of this girl beyond her breasts. I also have to snigger at the alleged ages of these celebs, they're like dog ages in reverse; for every two of their years, they claim only one. If she's 24, I'm fucking 19. And that's SO not true. Just like Marsh, Price et al.... Another gobshite, big-titted, braindead spunkdump for the north-west's footballers to gak in
