Gemma Atkinson 'brutally' altered with a moustache as she heads to the Brits

Gemma Atkinson was an unsuspecting target of a Sharpie pen as she headed to London or the Brit Awards.

The glamorous actress and radio presenter from Bury was catching some shut-eye on the train ahead of the ceremony when she was photographed and digitally altered with a moustache.

Her Hits Radio co-star Mike Toolan was behind the prank as he shared a snap of Gemma and her scribbled-on face fuzz on his Instagram.

Mike joked: "Well…. If you’re gonna fall asleep on the annual school trip, stuff happens. @glouiseatkinson #thebrits @hitsradiouk."

And rachgreen75 gasped: "Brutal!!"

Former Hits Radio breakfast show hosts Gemma and Mike were recently reunited on the airwaves to present the Manchester-based national radio station's drivetime show in a new schedule shake-up.

On the train journey to London Hollyoaks and Emmerdale favourite Gemma, 37, amused Mike by having with her a sleep-inducing supplement collagen peptides.

"It'll make you fall asleep and you'll wake up in Brighton not London," joked fitness fanatic Gemma.
