Gemma rose to fame as calamity-magnet Lisa Hunter on Hollyoaks, clocking up 631 episodes in all.

She’s dated both Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Bent.

She has a lucrative sideline voicing Lt. Eva Mckenna in the Command and Conquer games.

If you are a heterosexual British male who has not, at some point, harboured a deep and abiding crush on husky-voiced voluptu-goddess Gemma Atkinson, then you can consider yourself part of a very small, very strange minority. Since leaving Hollyoaks behind and moving on to the likes of Casualty, The Bill, Waterloo Road and I’m A Celebrity, Gemma has been a tabloid and men’s-magazine fixture, clocking up more gossipy column inches and eye-popping paparazzi shots than a jacuzzi full of Kardashians.

For some of us, of course, Gemma will forever be Lisa Hunter, who always managed to look 250% hot no matter what life through at her – which included relentless bullying, numerous doomed affairs, an itchy STD, a bout of self-harming and an actual kidnapping.

Banks! When one hears that word, they think multi billion dollar commercial of every day life, Banks tha went bust and ofcourse instituions tha help and aid the developement of countries such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. But what does financial responsibility to the average person?

Lets face it! We love our celebrities and we try to emulate everything they do from what they wear, the cosmetics and products they use and ofcourse their everyday habbits. It seems financial habbits are no different. Melanie Iglesias has revealed how she conducts her finances  in this ever-more materialistic world. She is extremely careful in running a line of credit and despite her lifestyle she is mindful of spending within her limits.

We should all take a page from her lesson and apply to our lives- certainly these are prudent habbits we can all bank on! Pardon the pun!
