Play.com Live host reveals her love of Nintendo’s Wii despite breast-related issues
TV babe Gemma Atkinson has praised Nintendo’s Wii in the build up to Play.com Live.
The Hollyoaks star will be hosting Play.com Live at Wembley Stadium on March 15th and 16th, which boasts titles such as Ghostbusters and The Force Unleashed, as well as performances from the likes of We Are Scientists.
Speaking to the Sun, the TV celebrity said: "I win every time I play the Wii. I'm the champion at the bowling game. I love it because all the family can get involved so it's great to play on a Saturday night if everyone is round.”
However, she also claims her breasts can get in the way of her gaming:
"I have to wear TWO bras when I go running at the gym so I'd love to design a range of sports bras for big-breasted women, something sexy not plain.
"It'd definitely be handy for strapping them in when jumping up and down with the Wii controllers."

“Where's the proof?”

Whilst I can understand why she has a problem in theory, I believe you'd be serving your readers better if you could publish evidence of this problem in practice. Video would be good.

Amazing there are only two things that can unite all the fanboys from all the different gaming camps under one banner:-
- Any dumb Public/Political figures attacking our industry.
- Breasts
I am so proud to be a gamer right now, brings a tear to my eye :)

What is the problem with being united behind breasts?
I'm so proud to be a man! ;)

Hey...MCV should have a new industry award:

I think this topic has raised some very serious issues, amongst other things. Breasts and video games have alot in common, mainly they both have the power to reduce the best of us to gibbering wrecks. Then there's the point that i'm not allowed to play with either for any length of time without my girlfriend getting bored and wanting to do something different.... Oh well.

I bet her breasts get in the way less when playing PS3 than when playing Xbox

Hi, I have designed a sexy bra to keep Gemma's assets in place while she jumps around. As I live in the US will anybody volunteer to give Gemma the bra if I Fedex it in the next couple of days?
