The news of Gok Wan's best friend, Ali's passing has left him heartbroken. His co-stars from the show This Morning have shown him an outpouring of love and support after he shared the sad news on Instagram. Gok, who is 49 years old, posted a touching tribute to Ali, including a series of clips from their time together over the years.
In his post, Gok expressed how Ali had finally found peace after a long battle. She passed away with her family by her side, with her son Tash assuring them that she was comfortable and not in pain. Gok described Ali as the smartest, bravest, and kindest person that anyone could have had the privilege to meet. To him, she was simply perfect.
Gok shared that he and Ali had been preparing for this moment for many years, but nothing could have prepared him for the overwhelming pain he feels now. He misses Ali tremendously - her wisdom, her smile, her naughtiness, her kind touch - everything about her. He expressed how much he loves her and how they will dance together again in the skies one day.
The TV presenter also shared a video of him and Ali dancing together, with the caption, "The very moment I met you I fell in love with you." He thanked her for the best years of their adventures and fun, and for being her true self. Gok believes that Ali has gone to the stars, and he will see her again through the music they shared.
Gok's co-stars from This Morning, including Alison Hammond, Ashley James, Ruth Langsford, Lisa Snowdon, and Dr Zoe, all shared their condolences and love for him and Ali. They praised Ali for showing the world what it means to be vulnerable yet strong and for being a brave and kind person. Gok's post was filled with love and support from his friends and fans alike.
In another post, Gok shared that he would give anything to sing in the rain with Ali again and that her last days/weeks were spent surrounded by her amazing family. He also shared that Ali's health had been deteriorating, and she was unable to be active on social media. However, she wanted him to send her love and thanks to everyone who showed her love and support.
Gok and Ali had been friends for 13 years, and despite her being unable to travel to the UK, they continued to show their love for each other. They both shared updates about her health after she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018. In September, Ali shared a picture of them together, expressing their strong and unbreakable love for each other.
