00:00So you have some big news for us as of last night.
00:04Yep, we're engaged!
00:06And you did it in a bit of a spectacular way.
00:10Yes, well I arranged with Mike and Rolf to go up on the stage with gladness
00:16to propose to my lovely now fiancée.
00:20And did you have any knowledge of it?
00:22None, none at all.
00:24So what was going through your mind when you saw him up on stage?
00:27I just started crying.
00:30I knew at that point what was going on.
00:58I want to give a hug to you guys.
01:01I love you guys.
01:03And to my fiancée.
01:09I love you guys.
01:11I love you.
01:17Thank you!
01:22Congratulations.
01:24Congratulations.
01:26Can we get one more?
01:46And there was no doubting in your mind that he was going to say yes?
01:49No.
01:50Oh, brilliant.
01:51And so, are you aside making plans already?
01:54No, well, not yet.
01:56Not yet, but it's going to be a nice little cosy wedding with all the family.
02:00And we're definitely going to play It Must Be Love at the wedding
02:04because that was a song which Gladness played for us after.
02:07Yep, absolutely.
02:09And it was just a phenomenal thing.
02:11We loved the hecking show.
02:13Ever since my partner moved down from Southend,
02:16she's been coming every single year and we've been every single year together.
02:20Since you've been here.
02:21I'm a Lincolnshire lad, so I've been coming for years now.
02:26So I'm glad I get to share it with them.
02:29So how long have you been together?
02:32Three years.
02:34And how did you meet, can I ask?
02:36Online.
02:37Online, alright.
02:38The same way most people meet on Facebook.
02:40Not the old-fashioned way, you know.
02:42We met on Bumble.
02:44We didn't meet yet and then we went on a date and it was good.
02:48I've been sat for a while.
02:50So you're getting used to the linkage of life then?
02:52Absolutely.
02:53I'd never go back to Essex now.
02:55Oh right, that's good.
02:57City girl and country boy.
02:59Oh brilliant, yeah.
03:01And so maybe wedding this time next year then maybe?
03:04Oh yeah.
03:05Maybe, maybe, we'll see.
03:07In the main ring.
03:09It'll be hard to top this year.
03:11Absolutely.
03:13How do you feel about him making a big show of it then?
03:17I can't put it into words.
03:19It's incredible.
03:20All the expectations and proposals, completely blown out the water.
03:24So now you've got a topic with the wedding, haven't you?
03:26Yeah, I'm not sure how.
03:28We'll do it Skydive.
03:30I'm not sure about that.
03:32Do you have a honeymoon night in mind as well?
03:35At some point.
03:37I want to take you back to Fiji because
03:40she went when she was a kid and she loved it.
03:42So I think it'd be nice, romantic.
03:45We'll be waiting a while for that then.
04:01Congratulations to the lovely couple.
04:03Thanks for having us.
04:05Have a great evening.
