Original Maxim Magazine – January 2008 UK issue, featuring Gemma Atkinson prominently on the front cover and as one of the main features inside.

This is a classic late-2000s men's lifestyle magazine combining celebrity features, entertainment, humour, cars, sport, fashion, interviews and glamour photography. The cover price is £3.60.

MAIN COVER FEATURE – GEMMA ATKINSON

The January 2008 issue is led by a Maxim Exclusive with Gemma Atkinson, promoted on the cover with the headline:

“Gemma Atkinson – She’s Back And Better Than Ever!”

Gemma is shown as the dominant cover subject, photographed in black lingerie against the clean white Maxim cover design.

The contents pages confirm that her main feature begins on page 68, describing it as a feature in which she talks about her ideal man.

For collectors of Gemma Atkinson, British television, Hollyoaks memorabilia and 2000s men's magazines, this is a particularly recognisable issue.
