After impressing in her cameo appearances this year, Gemma Atkinson joins the Key 103 Breakfast team from February 2017, alongside Mike Toolan and Matt Haslam.

Famed for her roles on Hollyoaks, Casualty and Emmerdale, the star is beginning to carve out a strong broadcasting career for herself as she lays her claim to radio.

Gemma said “I’m so happy to be part of the Key 103 team. I’m born and bred Manchester and this city means so much to me. I can’t wait to share all the laughs and great music with you and I’ll try and keep Mike and Matt in check as much as possible!”

Gemma joined Mike on air a few weeks back when the presenter had a not so glamorous entrance into work. Not looking where he was going, Mike slipped and we caught it all on CCTV.

Because we couldn’t keep the video to ourselves, we showed Gemma and her reaction was simply brilliant!

From 1988 Key 103 has been with Manchester every step of the way, catering for its rich musical heritage.

The station plays the biggest songs of the moment including Ed Sheeran, Calvin Harris, Taylor Swift, Olly Murs, Bruno Mars and Sam Smith as well as the classics we all still love to hear.
