Upon her return to the airwaves later in 2019, Gemma Atkinson moved to the prestigious Hits Radio Drivetime slot, joining forces once again with longtime collaborator Mike Toolan. Broadcasting weekdays across the UK, the dynamic duo became a massive hit for the station, renowned for their effortless banter, everyday anecdotes, and lighthearted celebrity interviews.

Beyond standard radio, Gemma Atkinson has significantly expanded her broadcasting footprint into digital audio and podcasting. She has hosted successful long-form audio formats, including The Overshare with Gemma Atkinson, where she tackles candid, real-life dilemmas with her trademark honesty, and Lost in Translation, which focuses on multicultural parenting.
