LIVE - Gail Porter - The Tiny Ninja with a Fighting Spirit

Gail Porter is an absolute trailblazer. A proud Scot, TV Presenter, Writer, Broadcaster and now stand-up comedian, joining Are You Sitting Uncomfortably? fresh from the Edinburgh Fringe. She is perhaps best known for shows such as Fully Booked and Top of the Pops, and that infamous image on the Houses of Parliament which she reflects on this special episode recorded in front of an audience. Today Gail is a role model to many, from her BAFTA-winning documentary Being Gail Porter where she shared her mental health journey, to being an advocate for many charities and good causes. In this launch episode of series two of Are You Sitting Uncomfortably? host Gemma Greaves and Gail explore her experiences of living with anxiety, being incorrectly sectioned, and the uncomfortable truths of the TV industry.   Listen and follow now to meet the incredible people who all have a story and who are all ready to sit uncomfortably.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
