T he Edinburgh-born television personality Gail Porter has been a presenter, model and actress, as well as a campaigner raising awareness for alopecia and mental illness. I remember my brother being born. I was about two and a half and there was a tricycle beside the bed. My dad said, 'Your little brother bought you a tricycle' — as a gift for him being born — and I was like, 'How did that fit in the tummy?!' I spent a year thinking my mum gave birth to a child and a bike. I saw Siouxsie and the Banshees when I was about 12.
