‘SUDDENLY they’re dropping like flies. First of all it was Gail Porter’s turn to pull out of Channel 4’s The Games with a recurrence of the hamstring injury she incurred in training.

Gail gets ready on the high board

“I feel like I’ve let everyone down,” the Scot sobbed – and she was right. She had been on TV for two hours and hadn’t even taken her clothes off.
