Gail Porter Pictures, Biography, Images, Videos, News

Born in Edinburgh in 1971, Gail Porter was a bookish student with excellent grades and bucket-loads of ambition. She studied media at film school and after graduation, was hired as a runner for a video production company doing menial tasks such as making coffee, getting food for crew and was once made to scrub an office with a toothbrush.

Fed up, Gail Porter persuaded a cameraman to film her and made her own showreel, sending it off to television companies. Spotting her exuberant talent, Porter was hired by Scottish Television and soon secured a job presenting cartoons on TV which led to her ‘Fully Booked gig’ on BBC.
