00:00Hello, it's Richard Hunt with some of the latest news from Lancashire.
00:03Now, Liam Hailwood is well known in Blackpool as a singer.
00:07In fact, he's a Boy George tribute artist.
00:10He's able to reproduce with inerrant accuracy the sound and the look of Boy George.
00:15But he's been known for something else on the latest episode of Loose Women.
00:19He appeared on the show, not as a singer, but because he wanted to propose to his partner, Michael Hopkins.
00:26And Liam is a friend of Colleen Nolan, one of the main presenters, of course, who also comes from Blackpool.
00:32And she said, yeah, you can appear on the show.
00:34So he appeared on the show.
00:36The two were sitting in the front row.
00:38And then as a complete surprise, Michael knew nothing about it.
00:41Liam got down on one knee, proposed to him and offered him a beautiful diamond ring.
00:46Now, this wasn't shown in the main part of the show as the cameras were rolling.
00:50This took place during the commercial break.
00:52But when the cameras came back, Colleen said there's been a proposal in the studio with my friend Liam in the front row.
00:59And then she showed the clip in which Liam proposed to Michael and all the audience cheers and applauded.
01:06This followed two weeks earlier where Michael had proposed to Liam on board a cruise ship by staging a treasure hunt, a series of messages and clues.
01:18And Liam followed the clues.
01:20And there waiting in the bar at the end was Michael.
01:22And he offered him the ring and proposed to him.
01:25So Liam was determined to get him back.
01:28Now, he knew that Michael was a fan of the show.
01:30And he was also a big fan of the Nolans.
01:32So it was a perfect way in which to give him a special day and propose at the same time.
01:37Here's what happened.
01:39During the break, my friend Liam, who was in our audience, proposed to his partner.
01:46Michael!
01:48Oh, look at this! It's so romantic!
01:52It was so romantic. He said that the other day.
01:55Oh, isn't it?
01:57Oh, that is so lovely.
02:00Well, we wish you all the best.
02:02We do.
02:03And we wait for the attention.
02:05Thank you.
