Gail Porter
- Profession: Presenter
- Place/Date of Birth: Edinburgh, Scotland, 23 March 2020
The caller got through to Gail and Ronan Keating during a live edition of OK TV and asked "why is OK TV so fucking shit?" in a scene reminiscent of the infamous Going Live Five Star phone in. Although Porter did apologise for the incident Ofcom said that the apology was not satisfactory and that her reaction was ’flippant’. OK TV? So that is where she has been hiding.

Gail Hipgrove’s hubby chooses Glasgow - 04/12/02
Edinburgh girl Gail Hipgrove must be feeling a twinge of split loyalties - her Toploader hubby and his band have chosen to perform as the headline act in Glasgow for Hogmanay.

Honey Hipgrave finally makes her entrance - 04/09/02
It seemed like one of the longest showbiz pregnancy, however it’s all over now. Gail Porter has had a baby girl called Honey.
The 30-year-old TV presenter was exactly a week overdue. Honey was born by Caesarian section after Gail went through 15 hours of labour. Her husband of one year, Dan Hippgrave, from Toploader described Gail as being ’tired but ecstatic’ after the birth which took place in a hospital in Central London.
Gail Porter reveals she is pregnant - 11/ 01/01
Gail Porter is expecting her first child in August.
The 30-year-old TV presenter, famous for her ’ladette’ behaviour and for having her naked butt beamed onto the House of Commons, married Toploader guitarist Dan Hipgrave last year. She must of had a change of plan as it was only last year she said, ’There isn’t a maternal bone in my body’ and, that she’d ’much rather have a dog than a baby’, but she is now said to be ’delighted’ to confirm that she is two months pregnant.
The couple met two years ago on the set of Chris Evans’s TFI Friday show, and married last August in Edinburgh.

After four years of 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, which in turn landed her the job as presenter of Fully Booked.
She handed in her resignation after doing her famous photo shoot for mens’ magazine GQ, in which she bared all. She has since fronted Electric Circus on Live and Kicking and filled in for Melinda Messenger on Melinda’s Big Night In. She is currently doing The Movie Chart Show on Channel 5. Still, she is best known for having her naked image projected on to the side of the Houses of Parliament about two years ago by adoring fans.
Gail lived in Soho for a while, but now lives in Camden with Toploader husband Dan Hipgrave, and baby Honey. You can nearly always spot them pushing the buggy about on Primrose Hill.
