| Biography |
Gail Porter was born in Edinburgh at Simpson's Memorial Hospital on
the 23rd of March 1971 at 7pm. When at school Gail had the nickname
'Snobby' due to the fact that she was devoted to her learning.
At her end-of-school exams she excelled doing extremely well,
though she failed her Accountancy Higher after bunking off after
20 minutes. She went down to the beach with some friends. When
she got home her mum saw the sand on her clothes and asked how
the exam went Gail replied, 'Oh it was very sandy at school.'
After school she got a job working at B&Q where she had to wear
a badge saying 'Gail. Happy to help.' At the age of 18 she enrolled
on an HND at Film School after which she got a job as a runner
for a Video Production Company in Edinburgh. 'I was treated like
a nobody.' recalls Gail 'I did everything from making teas and
coffees to ordering pizzas and cleaning the railings outside the
offices. Once they made me do it a toothbrush. It was horrible.'
After 4 years working behind the scenes she took the plunge and
produced her own showreel, interviewing random members of the
public on Edinburgh's Prince Street. This led to her first job
in front of the camera as the presenter of a children's TV show, Fully Booked.
