Gail Porter was born March 23, 1971, in Edinburgh, Scotland. Always studious while in school, Gail was even considered a snob because her head was always in the books. With excellent grades and ambition, Gail went on to study media in Film School. After graduation, Gail was hired as a runner for a Video Production Company, where she was treated like just another number. She was put to work in menial jobs such as making coffee and providing food, to cleaning the office. After working as coffee maker and office scrubber for 4 years, Gail finally produced her own show reel, which consisted of interviews with random people on the streets of Edinburgh. This eventually led to her work in children's television, presenting cartoons on TV, which led to her Fully Booked gig. Gail got tired of her career in children's television, and opted for more a grown-up image and a new audience.

She became an "Electric Circus" presenter on Live and Kicking, a guest host of the television series Melinda's Big Night In, and host of The Movie Chart Show. An occasional presenter on Top of the Pops, Gail has moved to the big leagues with her own show, Gail's Big Nineties, on VH1. British audiences have been able to catch Gail's beauty and talent on the boob tube, while just about every other British person was able to catch her beauty and talent in the flesh. Gail has appeared nude in many a men's magazine, and is even sprawled onto a billboard of the House of Commons in London, bare arse and all. Her sexy bad-girl image was further underscored with a nipple piercing and a romance with Keith Flint, of Prodigy. With her star factor on the rise in the UK, Gail has made guest appearances on TFI Friday, All Over the Shop, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, and Da Ali G Show, and has been a presenter on Kids Passport to the World. Sexy Gail is now host of the Internet show, Dotcomedy, and resides on her own in London's Soho but cuddles up with her rock star boyfriend, Dan Hipgrave of Toploader.
