Gail Porter’s Hair Coming Back

It’s been coming back for about four months. I was in Africa a few weeks ago with a charity, and when I got back about 70 […]

Gail Porter Hosting Musical

Not a lot of news on Ms. Porter lately. Sure she made the rounds and the Scottish BAFTAs, but there wasn’t much to that.
But here, way down the page, after what sounds like a justified complaint about the absence of a child’s discount at the theater - sorry, “theatre” - comes this tidbit:

I’m not exactly sure what was accomplished. Did he create skin, including […]
