Featuring Gemma Atkinson, Vikki Blows, Peter Crouch, Jack Osbourne and more.

Original UK edition of Zoo Weekly Magazine, dated 24–30 August 2007, Issue 183, with an original cover price of £1.40.

This collectable 2007 men's entertainment magazine features a prominent Gemma Atkinson cover story, with a series of exclusive swimming pool photographs, alongside an extensive feature introducing 57 new glamour models presented by Vikki Blows.

The magazine also includes celebrity interviews, football coverage, entertainment news, comedy, television features, motoring articles and lifestyle content.

A particularly interesting issue for collectors of Gemma Atkinson, Vikki Blows and British men's magazines from the 2000s.

Front Cover – Gemma Atkinson Exposed

The front cover is dominated by a large colour photograph of British actress and glamour model Gemma Atkinson, photographed wearing a bright yellow bikini.

The image shows Gemma standing beside a swimming pool with wet blonde hair, creating a distinctive summer-themed cover.

The central headline reads Gemma Exposed!

Below the main image is a filmstrip-style arrangement containing three additional photographs of Gemma in the same yellow bikini.

These show different poses in and around the swimming pool, including a photograph of her reclining beside the water.

The cover promotes the photographs as a new and exclusive bikini feature.

The bright yellow bikini contrasts with the blue swimming pool water and the magazine's bold red, white, black and yellow graphics.

Additional Cover Features

The lower section of the cover advertises 57 New Girls, presented by Vikki Blows.

A prominent photograph features Vikki Blows wearing a red outfit against a dramatic flame-effect background.

Additional smaller glamour photographs accompany this feature.

The upper section advertises:

• Peter Crouch – Exclusive England football interview.

• New stand-up comedy material.

• Football terrace chants for the new season.

The overall design is typical of Zoo Weekly's colourful, attention-grabbing editorial style during 2007.

Main Cover Story – Gemma Atkinson

Page 4 – Gemma's Hottest Bikini Pictures

Gemma Atkinson is the main cover personality.

The magazine advertises a collection of exclusive photographs featuring Gemma wearing a bright yellow bikini.

The front cover displays four photographs from the same swimming pool photoshoot.

The photographs show Gemma with wet blonde hair, posing beside and within the swimming pool.

The feature reflects her popularity during the mid-2000s, particularly among readers of British entertainment and glamour magazines.

Gemma was widely recognised for her television work, including her role in Hollyoaks, as well as her modelling appearances.

The issue is particularly appealing to collectors interested in her original magazine covers and early glamour photography.

Please note: The Gemma Atkinson cover photographs are clearly visible, but the complete interior Gemma feature has not been photographed. Its exact photographic contents cannot be independently confirmed from the supplied images.
