The TV Presenter, who has hardly had an easy life, admitted the experience was ‘the worst thing ever,’ describing her time on the Channel 5 show as simply ‘hellish.’

Gail, 44, even went so far as to say the house is worse than being sectioned under the mental health act (which Porter was due to suffering from bi-polar disorder since her 20s).

Porter lost all her hair in 2006 (including her eyelashes and eyebrows) when she was hit with alopecia.

Not only this, but the star has also dealt with bi-polar disorder since her 20s, at the height of her fame.

Making a name for herself as a presenter on Top of the Pops, The Big Breakfast and as a model - Porter should have had the world at her feet, but things started to fall apart.

Gail was filming Dead Famous: Ghostly Encounters when her hair completely fell out, with it never really returning.

But despite these traumatic events in her life, Gail said her three weeks in the CBB house were harder to bear, with the 'loudness' of the other contestants getting to her in the end.
