Gail's refusal to wear a wig is a bit silly

So Gail lost her hair through alopecia and lost TV work because she refused to wear a wig.
'If they can't accept me for what I am, then go **** them'.
Yet she still wears make up.
Make up isn't who you are. Make up is an image.
I always thought she was a few sandwiches short of a picnic.
No one is asking Gail to wear a joke wig. There are so very realistic lace front wigs out there which most of the female celebs wear.
It's about portraying an image on TV and looking one's best. It's like the actor who plays Dr Who wearing stockings and suspenders, mini skirt and 6 inch high heels on TV because it's 'who he is'.
No who he is, is, Who. Dr Who, and he must dress accordingly in that role.
I rest my case, m'lud.

A shame about Gail though really, she was a stunner back in her Childrens TV days
Make-up is entirely different. When you put make-up on (especially the very little amount that Gail wears) you don't feel any differently.
dear god ;/
It's silly because she lost work and income.
She's an idiot.
Julie Hesmondhalgh who played Hayley Cropper in Corrie wore a wig for years.
Other Corrie actors wear wigs. But they take them off away from the studio.
Gail's a fool. Proof of that was making other people's beds.
I totally disagree sorry. I take your point about actors dressing in character. But Gail was a TV presenter. Presenting a TV programme is not quite the same as an actor. I feel you contradict yourself - If TV is about portraying an image like you say - then wearing a wig was not the image Gail wanted to portray, and looking your best is in the eye of the beholder I would have thought. Sorry got to dismiss your case on being well bonkers!!!:D
Wow you really are a tool
I know two. One woman with alopecia who wears a wig. It looks like a wig I am sorry to say. or at least it looks odd enough for the eye to be drawn to her as you wonder if it is a wig or not. I know another who doesn't wear a wig. I don't know which is the lesser of two evils or which I would choose if in that position.
However if Gail choses not to wear one I respect that. As for the TV thing. I can see where you are coming from OP and I can see why TV producers are reluctant to hire on screen 'talent' (as they insist on calling it) whose appearance is out of the norm. On the other hand if it is kept away from the public eye then it remains out of the norm.
I also note that bald men are hired to work on screen and nobody asks them to wear a wig.
And she is a Fool and an Idiot. Phew!!! I am just glad you are finding the time to keep us informed on what we should wear and how we should all behave. I will repeat your mantra today everytime I think I may be behaving foolish "Put the wig down, do not think for myself, do not be an individual, follow the crowd, do as others do oh and don't be foolish".
Its funny after 10+ years on here you can still be taken aback by threads that are so small minded and ignorant.
Seconded.:D
Hmmmm.............you think so.
I think there is only one idiot around here and it sure ain't GP. ;-)
Downright nastiness imho.>:(
Seconded.
Quite right Verence, it is nobody's business whether she wears a wig or not, a school friend of mine has terrible alopecia and she does not wear a wig as it is too hot and scratchy - some people just cannot tolerate them - but the ignorant among us wont figure that out
However that's me, everyone is different, if she, or any other woman in the same position is happy and comfortable with not wearing a wig then what right has anyone else to judge.
It's each individual womans right to make her own choice.
