Ali was over the moon with the assistance, but Clarkson is reportedly none the wiser. Urging others to take the plunge, Ali said: “So really the point of this video is to say that you should just go for it.

Another commented: “That’s brilliant, how wonderful.” Another added: “This is a brilliant story! So happy for you!”.
