Being Gail Porter
In 1999, Gail Porter was one of the UK’s most sought-after female TV presenters. Over the next 20 years, she suffered post-natal depression, alopecia and was sectioned under the Mental Health Act. In 2014 she even ended up sleeping rough on a park bench. Gail takes a tell-all journey into her past and tries to find a reason as to why this happened to her. This is a deeply personal exploration of mental health, self-harm, anorexia and depression, as well as a stark reminder of how the world has changed since the 1990s heyday.
