She plays a British military officer for the Allied coalition in the popular franchise.

Atkinson says: 'I’m a gamer and the chance to act in this game was an opportunity I was really keen to explore - especially as Eva is such a strong female character.

'The worlds of gaming and film are getting ever closer and as an actress I wanted to explore this exciting new area of drama, broaden my acting skills and continue the active, outgoing side of my personality that I showed in I’m A Celebrity…'

The former Hollyoaks actress is also gearing up to hit the big screen this month in the upcoming movie Boogie Woogie, which also stars Jamie Winston, Christopher Lee and Heather Graham.

Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 will be on sale in October for PC and Xbox 360.
