Alison started by asking the star: "Monika, if I said tomorrow, when you wake up, all your wealth is gonna be gone, how do you think you’d cope, would you be ok?"
Monika humbly replied: "The thing is, in a blink, everything can change. So, let’s just have happy moments."
Without further ado, Alison was onto her next question: "Have you ever been in like, a B&M or a Poundland?"
In a moment that shocked nobody, Monika confirmed she had never heard of such a place and as such Alison did her best to explain about the British high street staples.
