Gemma Atkinson gets braces at 36 as she jokes she'll 'take them out to snack'

Gemma Atkinson has bitten the bullet and has finally given into the idea of braces.

The former Emmerdale actress, 36, took to Instagram to unveil her new clear braces on Thursday.

The blonde beauty filmed herself sitting in the dentist’s chair in a cheeky video which she captioned: “Today is the day I get braces.”

Gemma appeared to be overwhelmed with excitement about her new look as she filmed herself in high spirits ahead of the procedure.

She later took to her stories to detail her journey ahead with Invisalign braces.

“I’ve been told to expect some discomfort from day 2 to 5,” she wrote on her social media account.

“I’ve also been told I will have to probably lay off the snacks because people can’t be bothered to keep taking them in and out.
