Scottish TV personality Gail Porter has shared images of horrific injuries she suffered after having a "wee accident" at a tube station in London. The 55-year-old took to social media in the early hours of Friday morning after receiving messages from people online that something "was wrong" with her face.
Details of the incident
The accident occurred when Gail was on her way to support her friends at a performance of Trainspotting the Musical at London's Theatre Royal Haymarket. She was "knocked over while going down the stairs" at a London Tube station.
Taking to Instagram she said: "So … to all you wonderful keyboard warriors that said I’m looking old, and saying something was wrong with my face… I went to @trainspottingthemusical to support my friends that created this. Last week.. I was knocked over while going down the stairs at a London Tube Station. It was just a wee accident on the stairs. Nothing intentional!"
Injuries and message
In the images, Porter has two black eyes, a bruised nose and a cut on her lip. She said that the "scars are superficial and it’s not a problem." She shared the news to remind people to be kind and to ask her followers to never be "disrespectful to anyone for how they look or how they are." In further pictures posted to her account, a glammed up Porter has used "good concealer" to attempt to cover up her injuries.
