Love Island winner Kai Fagan pretended to have proposed to his girlfriend Sanam Harrinanan in a live radio stunt on Monday.
The 24-year-old teacher and social worker, also 24, got engaged to mark National Proposal Day while appearing on the BBC Asian Network.
Kai even shared a picture on Instagram of Sanam wearing a ring as he put his arm around her as they beamed at the camera.
He wrote: “OMG did this just happen live on @bbcasiannetwork,” along with a link to the show.
When host Nikita Kanda mentioned on the show that it was a national proposal day, Kai replied, “Listen, I’d get on one knee any day!”

True to his word, Kai popped the big question and pretended to ask Sanam to marry him live on air and Sanam said she would accept the proposal.
Co-hosting the breakfast show, Kai and Sanam also spoke about the embarrassment of giving each other a number for the first time, not having phones in the mansion, and representing Sanam brown girls.
Representing brown girls, Sanam said, “We’re making history and I just love it!”
Some fans rejoiced at the news and shared the picture on Twitter when they thought it was real, but listeners quickly set the record straight.
One person who set the record straight wrote: “Lol guys relax it was a sham proposal. Today is National Proposal Day and they just played it with the radio producer’s ring. Kai and Sanam are still friends.’
It comes after Sunday night’s Love Island reunion show, where the couple addressed how they will spend their £50,000 prize money.
Sanam said, “I’ll be sloppy, but of course I’ll give something to my mother because it’s just me and my mother, so I have to support her too.
“I literally said on the phone, ‘Mom, you get something, I don’t care what Kai says, you get something,’ and the rest we’re going to spend on ourselves, invest and build something with.

“We actually talked about it – we come from professions where we both work with children and I really want to be able to do something for these children.
“I don’t know what it is because I’m not very business savvy, but it’s something I want to do and we want to continue with that.”
Her victory marked the first time in the show’s eight-year history that a Casa Amor bombshell entered the show and won.
Tom Clare, 23, and Samie Elishi, 22, took third place in the competition, while airport security officer Shaq Muhammad, 24, and Tanya Manhenga, 22, came out first.
The pair were left speechless as host Maya Jama announced the results during the live final in South Africa.
After her win, Sanam told Maya, 28, “I can’t believe it,” while Kai was left speechless.
Ahead of her win, Sanam accidentally revealed that she’s in love with Kai while telling viewers to “watch this space” to make the beauty his girlfriend in the outside world.
She said of their romance: “For me it was always Kai, like I always said, he was my number one. Obviously he’s a very attractive guy, but I fell in love with everything.
“Everything about him, I just loved it. I really didn’t think I would be here. I will cry.’
Like every romance on the show, Kai and Sanam have had a rough road – after Olivia Hawkins, the gym teacher’s former love interest, left furious when his head was turned in Casa Amor – as did hers.
But Kai’s decision to pair up with Sanam again has proven worthy as they have stayed strong ever since.
In her interview, the PE teacher noted that his journey on the show has been a “roller coaster” but he’s looking forward to taking Sanam away from the glamor of the South African villa.
“It’s been a roller coaster ride,” he said. “But she literally blew me away. I think it’s the eyes.

“I always told her it was the first conversation we had, she made her eyes. But she doesn’t anymore! After the first we got closer and closer.
“She never leaves my side and I absolutely love her. It’s amazing in here and you have so many people working around you arranging the most amazing dates ever but I can’t wait to put my time and effort into her and show her how amazing she is.
“She’ll be my girlfriend on the outside, but I want that control.
“I’m going to make it so special and I’ve told her so many times that on the outside she’s going to be my friend. So keep an eye out.’
