Gail Porter
Who is Gail Porter?
Gail Porter is a television presenter, former model, actress, and mental health advocate.
What are Gail Porter’s main achievements?
A frequent face on British television, Gail was the most recognised presenter of the late 90s and early 2000s. With hosting accolades that included Top of the Pops and The Big Breakfast, it seemed Gail had everything. However, when she was diagnosed with alopecia, the public and industry turned their back on her, deciding that no one wanted to see a bald woman on television.
The stress of losing her hair and suddenly being unable to provide for herself and her young daughter triggered existing mental health issues which saw Gail unable to cope. From incredible fame followed homelessness and sectioning. However, from the depths of despair, Gail made it her mission to turn her life around. Since then, she has become a high-profile mental health campaigner and has even won a BAFTA.
What is Gail Porter best known for?
Gail is best known for being a charismatic and charming figure of the noughties. However, she is also an example of how the media can cause harm to women, especially after her naked image was projected, without her prior knowledge, onto the Houses of Parliament.
Over the years since, Gail has become a force to be reckoned with. Her strong stance for women’s health and rights has been inspiring to millions. She dedicates her time to helping others suffering from mental health; is an ambassador for Samaritans; and travels around the UK to speak on tough topics.
