Hayley Consuegra jumped at the chance when singing superstar Adele offered to help her propose to her boyfriend – in front of an audience of thousands.
After Adele asked if any women in the audience wanted to make a leap-year proposal at Belfast’s SSE Arena on Monday, The 34-year-old was invited onto the stage to pop the question to her boyfriend, Neil Pringle.
Video footage posted on social media shows Adele leading the 11,000 strong audience in a chant of “come on Neil” followed by the moment the 47-year-old said “yes”.
Consuegra told the Daily Mail that Adele’s song Someone Like You helped her win Pringle back after a break up.
“I had seen it on the Brits and it make me think of him. Adele was a big part of us getting back together. She has really written the words to our story,” she said.
The couple had enjoyed a romantic dinner together before the show and discussed their plans for the future.
“He said he definitely wanted to down the line. It was a really lovely conversation. He told me that he knew we would be together for the rest of our lives.
“Obviously I then had it all in my head, so when Adele asked if any women in the audience would want to propose to their boyfriend I put my hand straight up, but I never thought in a million years I would get picked,” she said.
Consuegra, who lives outside Edinburgh with her boyfriend, said she was in a state of shock as soon as she went onto the stage.
“It was terrifying, but Adele was saying how she gets nervous as well. I was just so happy to be standing there with Adele. It was worthwhile, a once in a lifetime opportunity.
“When I came off the stage Neil just hugged and kissed me. We were hugging for the rest of the concert.”
