Woman explains how Jeremy Clarkson has 'paid her mortgage' without him even knowing

A woman has revealed that Jeremy Clarkson has unknowingly been helping her pay off her mortgage.

The Cotswold content creator, who is known for her content around her life and things that she does in the area, has revealed that the former Top Gear presenter has somehow had a hand in helping her pay off her debts.

Known as 'Ali in the Cotswolds' on TikTok, she has recently made a video explaining exactly how Clarkson recently gave her a financial boost, which has received over 96,000 views.

Starting the video, she says: "So Jeremy Clarkson is actually paying my mortgage this month which sounds absolutely crazy to say, but it's true."

In the caption, she wrote: "Here's your sign to go for it!"

She explained that it all started after she posted a video giving viewers a sneak peak into Clarkson's new pub, The Farmer's Dog, which got her over 2.2 million views.

Ali shared the pub's stunning outdoor terrace, shop, restaurant, milk machine, decorations and more on the day of its opening, when many didn't have the chance to give it a visit.

Through this video, the Brit found she was able to make enough to cover parts of her monthly expenses, sharing exactly how she did it.

"Luckily for me I had just been accepted onto the Creator Fund the day before, which was just a miracle to be honest. It did really well and my RPM was really high," she revealed.

"Although he is not paying the full mortgage, he is paying my portion of the mortgage."

RPM, or revenue per 1,000 qualified views, is a tool used by social media platforms to work out how much a creator should earn after their video is watched for 60 seconds or more, essentially rewarding creators for their content and driving traffic to the site.

It's the reason that Clarkson is 'paying' for her mortgage, as her video as earned her a respectable amount of money from the TikTok Creator Fund.

To qualify for this, you must be 18, based in the US, UK, France, Germany, Spain, or Italy, and have 10,000+ followers and 100,000+ video views in the last 30 days.

According to Business Insider, a TikTok creator can receive anything from a few cents to around $8 (£6) per 1000 views, depending on the user.

A spokesperson for TikTok said: "The Creator Fund is not a grant or ad revenue sharing programme. Creators receive funds based on a variety of factors from their videos, and creators will know that performance on is dynamic - it changes naturally - so your funds will ebb and flow in the same way."

Naturally, Ali was ecstatic when she found her earnings out, though Clarkson doesn't seem to be aware.

She has encouraged users to follow in her footsteps and make content about whatever they want, because it could work out: "So really the point of this video is to say that you should just go for it."

"I know the fear of perceptions is really difficult, but my only piece of advice would be that you just have to stay consistent," she advised.

"If you had told me this time last year that Jeremy Clarkson technically would be paying half of your mortgage, I think I just would have been so dumbfounded."
