Gail Porter
Talks about the difficulties she has overcome in her life.

In 2005 the TV presenter Gail Porter woke to find that her hair had fallen out. She was diagnosed with alopecia but rather than hide away, Gail used her public persona to highlight the condition. With the publication of her autobiography, Gail joins Jane Little to talk about her career and also about her struggles with anorexia, self-harm and bi-polar disorder. And - just what did she make of her naked image being projected onto the Houses of Parliament by FHM magazine?

Laid Bare, My story of love, fame and survival by Gail Porter is published by Ebury, ISBN: 9780091920401
