Gemma Atkinson found herself being flooded with a toilet-based question after she shared some behind-the-scenes videos from her photoshoot for her new clothing range. The Hits Radio host is one of In They Style's main collaborators alongside the likes of Stacey Solomon, Billie Faiers and Jacqueline Jossa.
She may have only launched a new autumn collection last month, but Gemma has revealed she's going to be imminently dropping another set of items and it's all about partywear and outfits for those upcoming autumn brunches. On Thursday (October 6), The 37-year-old took to her Instagram Stories to show her millions of followers some of the gorgeous outfits.
Later, Gemma returned to Instagram with the official photoshoot snaps taken at one of Manchester's celebrity haunts, Menagerie. The former Hollyoaks and Emmerdale star looked gorgeous as she modeled the range in front of the bar's Instagrammable display featuring a balloon-filled bathtub and neon sign reading: "Trade Your Broken Wings For Mine."

She could be seen wearing a barbie pink waistcoat with matching wide-leg trousers while her blonde locks were slicked back into a stylish bun. Another image showed Gemma propped up against the bar in a hot sparkly pink cami top which she wore tucked into a pair of smart black trousers.
Mum-of-one Gemma, from Bury, also showed off her gorgeous, toned figure in a black and white striped dress. She stood on a golden staircase with her hands on her hips as she giggled for the camera. "PARTY WEAR!" Gemma typed alongside the series of images. "My brand new @inthestyle collection launches THIS Sunday at 7pm exclusively via the app and 8pm on the website.
"Christmas parties are round the corner and this collection has everything covered from power suits, shirts, dresses and sequins in bright pinks, reds and stunning abstract prints! These are just a taster…"
Gemma's fiance Gorka Marquez was among the first to comment and the Strictly Come Dancing star was clearly dazzled by her husband-to-be. He simply shared a string of s miling faces with heart-eyes and heart emojis to show his support. And his latest Strictly partner Helen Skelton also commented, keeping in simple with two raising hands emojis.
But Gemma 's previous sneak peek of the collection in between takes during the photoshoot earlier this week raised a few eyebrows. Taking to her Instagram Story again on Friday morning, she shared a screengrab of just one of the many messages she received which said: "Why you in [the] toilets?"
"Loads asked this," Gemma replied with a bunch of crying laughing emojis. "The shoot was in a restaurant and it was the only place with a full length mirror to show the clothes," she explained. "That and also I felt a t**t doing it in front of ppl trying to eat their lunch so the loo was the safest space," Gemma laughed.
It comes after she found herself hitting back at another message she received about the range itself. Gemma shared a screenshot of a message she had received in response to her telling her followers she wore a size 10 in the collection and shared images of a size 18 model wearing the same items in response to requests on the other ranges.
It read: "How about a more realistic size 18. Brands love to show how diverse they are by using 'plus size models' but really they don't represent actual plus size people." It went on: "Why don't you model your clothes on somebody with a full belly or larger legs if you actually want to show that your clothes are accessible to everybody." However, Gemma was quick to clap back. "We genuinely cannot win when it comes to the female body."
Her lengthy response also saw her say labeling the model, named Lauren's, body as 'not realistic' compared to other size 18 women "is part of the problem." She also shared a positive message about everyone's 'different bodies' and how we shouldn't "let the opinions of others get in the way."
