Gail Porter - The fall and rise of a 90s icon and why she’ll never marry again

Once labelled a ‘ladette’ – whose naked image was projected on to London’s Houses of Parliament - Gail Porter’s career came crashing down in 2005 after her hair fell out. Homeless, divorced from Toploader guitarist Dan Hipgrave, bald and broke, she ended up sectioned. But 20 years on, Gail is back, happily single and solvent – and she’s embracing wearing a wig. Discover her extraordinary journey from heartbreak to hope in her incredible comeback story.
