Gail Porter, the 55-year-old model and mental health advocate, has publicly criticised Katie Price over an alleged cruel remark about her hair loss. Porter, who rose to fame in the 1990s on shows such as The Big Breakfast and Top of the Pops, claimed that Price made a hurtful comment when introducing her to a boyfriend.
In a comment on an Instagram post by Sky TV promoting Price's upcoming documentary Katie: Nothing to Hide, Porter wrote: "The person who introduced me to one of her boyfriends and said ‘this is Gail. She used to be pretty when she had hair… Google her. Thanks.’" The comment has garnered over 100 likes and numerous replies from shocked users.
Porter, who lost all her hair due to alopecia following the end of her marriage in 2005, has been open about her struggles with post-natal depression, bipolar disorder, and homelessness. She now works as a mental health advocate, author, and stand-up comedian.
Price's four-part documentary, produced by Louis Theroux's Mindhouse, promises "intimate access" to the model and is set to air on Sky and NOW this summer. Representatives for Price have been approached for comment but have not yet responded.
