Former Emmerdale star and Hollyoaks favourite Gemma Atkinson got involved romantically with Cristiano Ronaldo when he first played for Manchester United in 2007. And now the model has revealed what it was like spending time with one of the most famous footballers in the world.
Apparently, despite being one of the highest-paid sports people the world has ever seen, Gemma says some of her dates with Ronaldo were pretty ordinary and laid back. In a radio interview on Manchester's Key 103, she spoke of a time when the newly coupled up pair just hung out at her house drinking tea and watching Only Fools And Horses.
"Genuinely!" said Gemma, "I don’t know if he’s into it now but he seemed to enjoy it.” Atkinson said that couldn't be tempted by the huge fees she was being offered for telling all about her time with Ronaldo,. She said: "When we did split up, I got offered so much money to speak about him. And I didn’t want that."
