Leap Day Proposal

This year is a Leap Year, the year traditional for a woman to propose to their partner which only happens every 4 years!

So we searched the Thames Valley to find a lady who was willing to do the proposal live on the radio on Lear Year Day. A lady got in touch with us and asked for our help! She wanted to propose to her partner who she's already turn down before, not once but twice!

To avoid detection by her partner who we know listens to Heart, we called her Miss X (Ann) and until the day of the proposal her voice was disguised at all time.

We sent Gareth James from Drive and the rest of the Heart crew to Banbury to help Ann out. We arranged a horse and carriage so she could arrive in style outside her work place where her partner works at too. It took lots of organising, lots of secrets calls and we had to keep a horse & carriage hidden from view but finally Ann managed to propose to her partner Glenn and he said YES!!

MISS X 

Also to get an insight on what Mr X is like, we called up his brother. Tony knows both of them pretty well, we obviously had to disguise his voice too.

BROTHER IN LAW

We spoke to Miss X and Mr X's boss who has worked with them both for about 4 years. We wanted to find out if they made a good couple of not...

THE BOSS

Ahead of the big proposal tomorrow, we spoke to Miss X to see how she's feeling and whether she's going ahead with the proposal on not...
