Hillary Clinton's campaign team take part in viral 'Mannequin Challenge' - and Bill almost ruins it

Hillary Clinton and her campaign team have taken part in the viral 'Mannequin Challenge' in a last minute campaign video - but Bill Clinton almost ruined it.

Ms Clinton and her team were joined on board their campaign jet by Eighties rocker and Clinton supporter Bon Jovi as they attempted the new fad in which everyone present is required to stand completely still.

The footage was shared on the Democratic candidate's official Twitter account on Tuesday morning, with the caption: “Don't stand still. Vote today”. It pans across staff members as they remain frozen in their position like wax figures - largely very successfully.

But on closer inspection Mr Clinton, never one to ignore a camera and always with a twinkle in his eye, is seen coming close to ruining the sketch as his gaze very briefly shifts towards the lens.

Ms Clinton wasn't entirely successful either: she can be seen blinking before the challenge is over.

The video has been shared more than 26,000 times and attracted comments from supporters of both sides of the presidential debate as Americans wait to find out whether Ms Clinton or Donald Trump will be the next US president.
