Gail Porter Reveals Her Hair's Growing Back Thanks To Raw Cabbage Diet

Troubled presenter and model Gail Porter is thrilled that her hair appears to be growing back after suffering for years with alopecia

Gail Porter is cautiously enjoying the regrowth of her hair thanks to a new strict diet involving raw cabbage.

Gail, 43, is overjoyed that a new healthy lifestyle appears to have led to the return of her blonde hair - which famously fell out due to a battle with alopecia.

Now Gail's head is covered with a thick coating of 'fuzz' hair that is growing back - for the first time in ten years. She is putting the growth down to a raw food detox diet involving uncooked cabbage and vegetables.

Edinburgh-born Gail, who now lives in London, said: "For the first time in years I've got eyebrows and eyelashes again.

"I now always carry three different mascara in my purse, just because I'm so excited about wearing it. My hair is growing back - it's not been this thick for years. It's because I've been detoxing for a few weeks now.

"I'm putting everything into getting healthy, and it's really working. Raw food seems to be helping my hair. When I come to the spa I get a big spurt of hair growth. I'm over the moon."

Gail's week-long stay at Slimmeria, in Crowhurst, East Sussex, her third of the year, has seen the celeb eating little more than apples and raw cabbage in a 400-calorie-a-day diet while doing rigorous exercise.

Gail also admitted that once she's sorted her body out, she's keen to start looking for a new man.

"I'm 43 now so I'm a bit worried I'm going to be on my own forever. I've got a cat. I never thought I'd be that woman with a cat watching box sets every night - but that's what I am. I'm not going to get too excited, since I've been struggling with my hair for ten years, but I reckon this time it's here to stay.

While she stays at the 15-bedroom manor house, her daughter Honey, who is 12, is with her father - former Toploader guitarist Dan Hipgrave.


Gail said: "The regime is strict here, but I'm Scottish - it suits me."

Despite trying to get her hair back Gail insists she's quite content without it, saying, "I don't give a f**k I've not had hair for ten years. I save a fortune on hair gel.

And Honey, who Gail says is "12 going on 19", likes her just the way she is.

She said: "My daughter saw it last week and said you just look daft. She loves me as I am and think's I'm cool. I'm not, I'm just a cat lady.

"She's happy I'm bald and that's great. If she's happy I'm happy."
