Many people around the world consider investing in cosmetic surgery in a bid to boost their appearances, and celebrities are no exception. One high-profile figure to have taken advantage of these procedures is Hollyoaks star Gemma Merna.
Speaking to the Daily Express recently, the actress and glamour model revealed that she underwent surgery when she was younger to enhance her breasts.
The 29-year-old stated: “I had a boob job at 21. I went from a cup B to 30FF. They’re very natural and it gave me confidence.”
It seems as though Merna would consider having further procedures in the future. She revealed that she “wouldn’t rule it out”. However, for the time being the celebrity is pleased with the way she looks, she added.
Keeping fit
Of course, to maintain a great figure, cosmetic surgery alone is not enough. People also have to think about their diets and their exercise regimes. Commenting on how she stays in shape, Merna said: “I eat healthily. I’m using the book Clean & Lean Diet by James Duigan. It takes you back to basics, eating nothing processed. For breakfast I’ll have vegetables in with my egg white scramble. For dinner, I’ll have chicken, fish or steak with vegetables stir-fried in coconut oil.”
She also does lots of exercise. About this, she stated: “I do hot yoga and Pilates, swim, walk my two St Bernard dogs and go to the gym. I do interval training: run as fast as you can for 20 seconds, walk for ten seconds, then 20 seconds fast running. In four minutes you burn as many calories as in a 20-minute jog.”
Meanwhile, when it comes to skincare, the star revealed she uses oils and eye creams, and she has skincare facials too. Commenting on her motivation for this, she added: “I’m turning 30 next year and I need help. I’m getting wrinkles round my eyes – especially with the expressions I do as Carmel in Hollyoaks!”
Style inspiration
When asked who her style icon is, Merna pointed to fellow actress Sarah Jessica Parker, saying she was a particular fan of hers in the days of Sex And The City. She added: “It was amazing the chances she’d take on outfits and how fabulous she’d look in things you wouldn’t necessarily imagine putting together.”
She also revealed that she thinks Eva Mendes is beautiful and exudes confidence. Merna is a fan of Kate Hudson too, and of her mother Goldie Hawn.
The glamorous blonde also stated that her favourite designer is Isabel Marant. Talking about the dresses, shoes and boots the designer creates,Merna described them as “very funky”. However, she went on to note that her all-time favourite outfit was a Philip Armstrong dress that she wore at the British Soap Awards this year. The garment was black and fitted and it had a nude mesh panel down one side.
