According to the news, she has been taken to hospital after an alleged overdose. I wish her well.

Gail Porter 'in Suicide Bid'


Depressed TV star Gail Porter has attempted to take her own life, according to a report in The Sun newspaper.

The one-time model and former presenter of The Big Breakfast and Dead Famous is alleged to have swallowed some 30 pills before admitting herself to a north London hospital, where she had her stomach pumped.

The Sun reports she had also cut her wrists in what seems to have been a "cry for help" following a last-ditch attempt to rescue her marriage to former Toploader guitarist Dan Hipgrave.

The couple have a daughter, Honey.

A friend told the newspaper, "Gail and Dan tried to work through their problems to save the marriage, but it has finally come to an end.

"She got a bit confused and was feeling very down over he break-up."

Gail, who will celebrate her 34th birthday tomorrow, is said to have taken the overdose last week.

She received emergency treatment before being referred to a psychiatrist and booking an appointment at celebrity clinic The Priory, whose famous clients have included Tara Palmer-Tomkinson and Kate Moss.

The Sun article said estranged husband Dan had a new girlfriend.

He has insisted Gail is not unwell, saying: "I have seen her since she left hospital and she is fine."

I do hope she'll be OK, :(

I'm sure that having the details splattered all over The Sun helped her state of mind amazingly, especially when they accompanied it with a picture of Mr Hipgrave and his new girlfriend.

The stress that someone must be under to go to these lengths when she has a two year old daughter must be so intense.

I hope that she's given space and help to sort things out.
