Former 90s pin-up star Gail Porter has publicly slammed Katie Price in a shock online comment that has now gone viral — accusing the former glamour model of mocking her hair loss caused by alopecia.
Gail, 55, who developed alopecia in 2005 and has spoken openly for years about the emotional toll it took on her life and confidence, made the bombshell allegation underneath a trailer for Katie’s upcoming Sky documentary series, Katie: Nothing To Hide.
The trailer, shared by Sky UK on Instagram, promotes the new four-part series as an “intimate” and “jaw-dropping” look at Katie’s life behind the headlines. But it was Gail’s comment underneath the post that suddenly stole attention online.
Referring to Katie, Gail wrote: “The person who introduced me to one of her boyfriends and said ‘this is Gail. She used to be pretty when she had hair… Google her. Thanks.’”
The comment quickly sparked outrage from fans, racking up dozens of replies and nearly 100 likes within hours as shocked followers rushed to support Gail.
One person responded: “Whhhhhat?!”
Another wrote: “That must have been awful for you. I hope you’re okay x.”
A third added: “So sorry she said that! You are beautiful.”
Gail Porter became one of Britain’s most recognisable glamour stars during the late 1990s thanks to appearances in magazines including FHM, while Katie Price — then famously known as Jordan — was dominating tabloid culture through shoots for publications such as The Sun, Loaded, Playboy and The Daily Star.
The dramatic accusation comes just as Katie prepares for the release of her highly anticipated documentary series, which is being produced by Louis Theroux.
According to producers, the show will explore every side of Katie’s turbulent life and career, with contributors from across her past expected to speak candidly about their experiences with the reality star.
Arron Fellows, co-founder and creative director at Mindhouse, said the series “doesn’t shy away” from what Katie herself describes as “the good, the bad and the ugly.”
He added: “The team have spoken to a range of contributors who have crossed paths with Katie at different junctures of her life – through the ups, the downs and everything in between.
“In doing so have crafted a series that is as jaw-dropping and unpredictable as it is tender and surprising.”
The series is expected to air on Sky UK and streaming platform NOW later this summer.
