Maxim Girls: Girl Of The Week

 

Gemma Merna
A Little Gem

Ditzy but delicate, it’s time to revalue Hollyoaks’ most treasured possession, Carmel McQueen, aka the lovely Gemma Merna

There’s something about Hollyoaks girls. They just can’t keep their clothes on. Whether they’re acting in the show, standing in a photo studio, or buying economy waffles in their local Asda, they can’t resist whipping off their jeans. The latest culprit is the wonderfully-endowed Gemma Merna, who plays onscreen dipstick Carmel McQueen. She may not be the sharpest in the show, but she’s charmed a few of the Hollyblokes into undoing her buttons. And the good news is, in real life she’s as bright as one!

Did you get your handbag free with a magazine?

Oh no, I like my nice handbags! That’s one thing I like – nice handbags, and nice shoes. I’ve spent about £400 on this handbag. I always have loads of food in it, too.

Scotch eggs?

No… it’s full of little nibbles for when I’m on set. And people are always laughing at me because I go down on set in my warm coat and it’s stashed with little packets of food. I get hungry all the time.

If you got really, really fat would the producers bump you off?

I hope they wouldn’t bump me off, though they’d probably tell me to go on a diet: ‘Stop eating all the pies!’ But no, you can’t kill Carmel off. She’s such a fantastic character – I’ll just make sure I don’t get fat.

What would your specialist subject be on Mastermind?

Me on Mastermind? That’s hilarious. My specialist subject would probably be about… shoes. But I wouldn’t get past the first question…

Well, let’s see. Question one: what is the name of the wooden shoes native to Holland?

Clogs. But don’t ask me any more – I had enough trouble getting that one.

OK, here’s a different one – what’s your favourite hymn?

Probably ‘Kum Ba Yah’. But that’s everyone favourite, isn’t it?

Would you ever do a Gemma Atkinson and become a glamour model and start dating footballers?

No. I’ve got nothing against footballers. If I met one who was lovely, then possibly. But I like my man to be out of the scene and someone who can look after me.

A nice homely man called Trevor, perhaps?

Er, yes. Though I’d probably take the mickey out of his name all the time. Gemma and Trevor: that would sound quite nice on our wedding invitation.

Finally, what kind of drunk are you? Lively? Quiet? Psychotic?

I get very, very giddy. Everyone loves me drunk. I don’t have any inhibitions. I’m full of fun, living life to the max.

Hollyoaks is on Channel 4, weekdays at 6.30pm
