Full force Gail: The party began at the Too2Much Club from which Porter, 35, emerged at 2am
Wearing a red wig and supported by two friends in unconventional attire, Gail Porter celebrated her divorce with a party in Soho.
Once famous for having an image of her naked body projected on to the Palace of Westminster, the TV presenter staggered through the streets, a little the worse for wear, as she did her best to put her five-year marriage to Toploader guitarist Dan Hipgrave behind her.
The party began at the Too2Much Club from which Porter, 35, emerged at 2am today.
According to witnesses she stumbled about and then headed for a snack.
Before doing so she donned angel wings, posed for a photograph with her lawyer then took a bow while removing the wig, revealing her bald head.
It has not been a good year for Porter, the stress of her marriage break-up is said to have triggered her alopecia.
She married Hipgrave in 2001, with whom she subsequently had a daughter. But by 2004 the pair had separated.
The former model, also fell over as she left a party last month in front of a stack of photographers.
She was leaving Bloomsbury's All Star Lanes after celebrating the launch of the Grease DVD when she tripped up.
She has spoken publicly about her ensuing battles with stress, drugs and post-natal depression and began to lose her hair in 2005.
She spoke about her experience with alopecia in the BBC documentary Gail Porter Laid Bare.
