Gail Porter reveals she had a run-in with police after she was caught scattering her father's ashes


The former Top Of The Pops and The Big Breakfast host, 53, said goodbye to her father, Craig, in 2020 after he passed away aged 72 in Marbella, where he was living as an expat.

After keeping her father's ashes in an urn in her London spare room during lockdown, Gail admitted she became 'stressed' and desperately wanted to return him home to Scotland for his final resting place. The TV personality was seemingly right to correct the police with their claim, as the UK government's website states: 'You don't need a licence or permission to scatter ashes at sea after a cremation'.
