Butler also reflected on her new book, "A Purposeful Life," which delves into her personal journey: ""It's the story of sort of my life, hurdles, how I've overcome it, and giving people tools that they can also use. It was like, If this is your situation, this is what might help you get out of that situation. And so it's very much a toolkit for life, I think. And it came about because I had some time, I was sick, I had cancer. And so whilst I was recovering from cancer, I just started writing and putting stuff down."

Ali also caught up with former England goal keeper David James who spoke about the benefits of getting children into sport: "The benefits of this are multiple, one mental health, physical health, social well -being. If we can improve this for people just by participating in football, then we're helping our society"
