Gemma Atkinson addresses claim she was ‘PUSHED OUT’ of radio job

Gemma Atkinson, 34, stepped down from her role on the breakfast show this month ahead of the birth of her impending arrival. Announcing the news last month, the actress told fans she will be in “no fit state” to work the early hours, but will return to the drive time show instead. Since stepping down, Gemma’s replacement has been revealed as former X Factor star Fleur East, 31, who will present alongside Gregg Burns and James Barr. Hits Radio announced the news on their official Twitter page with 155,000 followers yesterday, but one fan was quick to query the changed line-up.
