Following a hugely successful run of sold out shows at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Gail is now taking her hilarious stand-up show on the road.Famed for her vibrancy as well as mental health struggles, she has turned to comedy to take control of her own story.
This brand new show documents her life experiences: ‘If I've got a problem, I like to share it - whether it's homelessness or losing my hair, I've been in a psychiatric unit and I just think - what's the worst that could happen?’
As a lively 25-year-old in the 1990s she hosted TV programmes including Fully Booked, Top Of The Pops and Wish You Were Here.
But her pathway began to change tack in 1999 when she posed naked for FHM magazine. She was assured the image wouldn't go anywhere, but instead it was projected onto the Houses of Parliament, standing 18m (60ft) high. The first she knew of it was when she heard her name mentioned on the news.
In 2005 she also developed alopecia and her TV career practically ended overnight.
But it has also provided her with a wealth of amusing material.
Gail's career has been a rollercoaster and at the moment she's enjoying a rising profile thanks to the comedy
