Ep. 193 - Gail Porter

Gail Porter is a Scottish television presenter, model and actress. Best known for presenting such shows as Top of the Pops, Live & Kicking, Children in Need, The Big Breakfast and The Gadget Show. In 2005 Gail developed alopecia totalis, causing her to loose her hair. She decided not to wear a hat or wig in order to raise awareness of the condition and became ambassador for the Little Princess Trust, a charity which provides wigs to children with hair loss. Gail’s alopecia was the subject of the BBC ONE Life series documentary Gail Porter Laid Bare in 2006. She is a vice-president of The Children's Trust, a UK charity for children with brain injuries. Gail’s latest show, Spooked Scotland is available now on Really and Discovery+. Gail Porter is guest number 193 on My Time Capsule and chats to Michael Fenton Stevens about the five things she'd like to put in a time capsule; four she’d like to preserve and one she’d like to bury and never have to think about again .
