Busty British actress Gemma Atkinson, who recently became the face of the Ultimo’s ‘D-G’  lingerie range has reportedly landed herself a lucrative new movie role.

22-year-old, who previously starred as ‘Lisa’ in British teen soap Hollyoaks, will be starring alongside Heather Graham, of ‘Austin Powers’ fame -  and shooting will take place in the UK.

Gemma is hoping that the opportunity will help her career to skyrocket.

She told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: ‘I realised that I wanted to get back into acting, ‘I am filming my first feature film in London, which is absolutely great.’

Since starring in Hollyoaks, Atkinson has appeared in spin-offs Hollyoaks: Let Loose and Hollyoaks In The City with co-star Marcus Patric.

On being the face of Ultimo, Gemma recently said: “I am delighted to be the Face and Body of Ultimo D-G. The collections are fantastic – at last big cup lingerie which has sexy and practical collections – I love it! I am so excited to be associated with Ultimo, the biggest designer lingerie brand in the UK.”
