The 5ft 2in TV presenter’s massive boobs made her miserable and caused her huge discomfort over the years, leaving her with a curving of the spine.

Gail, 45 - who has suffered from alopecia totalis since 2005 - told the panel she even stopped eating and was diagnosed as anorexic after she tried to lose weight from her breasts and was subsequently hospitalised.

Speaking about her decision to undergo breast reduction surgery, the petite star said: “They took nine pounds out, just under nine pounds and so the reason I did the whole thing was because … the worse they were getting, the more and more my posture was getting hunched.”

The former Celebrity Big Brother star added: “I started dieting because I wanted to get rid of the breasts, because I was so conscious of them and then it went from everywhere else and then anorexia is a mental thing as well so I got it into my head that I constantly wanted to diet and then these [breasts] weren’t going away and I remember ending up in hospital because I was so tiny and the doctor said to me, ‘God, you’ve got really big boobs for someone with anorexia.’ And that was it, it just got even worse…”

Gail has 14-year-old daughter Honey with her Toploader guitarist ex-husband Dan Hipgrave and before she became a mother she was a 90s tabloid star, who famously posed naked on the Houses of Parliament in 1999.

However, she secretly hated her figure, and is much happier now she has a comfortable size 28C chest.

She said: “I’m not ashamed, I’ve got these problems but I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.”

She added: “(before) I felt like I had three heads, I was like 'Hello, I’m up here’ but men would speak to these two [points to boobs]. I covered it very well but I always looked much bigger than I was because I had quite wee legs and this huge chest and the pictures I did in the 90s obviously they were airbrushed.

“There’s like pictures of me with no nipples on the Houses of Parliament because apparently nipples are offensive, not my huge massive naked butt.”

We’re glad to see Gail looking happy and fabulous.
