Gail Porter
Gail Porter burst on to our TV screens in the late 90s. Bright, sparky and beautiful she soon attracted an entirely different audience, posing for a number of men's magazines and rapidly becoming the pin-up of the lad-mag generation. FHM, in a now famous stunt, even projected her naked form on to the Houses of Parliament. Stress induced alopecia caused Gail to lose her hair, famously appearing at a charity event sporting a startling pink Mohican. Her stunning features and her unwillingness to wear a wig to hide her bald head have made her a contemporary icon.
Gail says "Continually raising awareness of alopecia helps to lessen the stigma of hair loss. I am therefore delighted to support wherehasmyhairgone.com as the site has been written by Alison, who has alopecia, and it provides some great tips on how to deal with this condition and the subsequent life changes that develop as a result"
The press have documented her triumphs and tragedies over the years, but now Gail Porter tells her life story in her own words in her publication 'Laid Bare'. Gail's autobiography is everything you would expect from the diminutive Scot, open,frank and honest but it is also warm and surprisingly laugh-out-loud funny. It is a book about a lovely but troubled girl taking on life with all it can throw at us and her unbreakable will to survive.
