There Was A Live Leap Year Proposal On Today FM This Evening

There's bound to be some celebrations in North Dublin tonight!

If you need some added Valentine’s love to keep you floating on cloud nine, this should do the trick…

Today FM were running a competition ‘How Much Love Have You Got In the Tank’ on air today, where listeners were asked to nominate themselves for a chance to win a €1,000 voucher.

Dubliner Claire Simpson from Donaghmede decided to enter the competition, telling The Phil Cawley Show why herself and her partner should win the prize via text:

‘Hi Phil happy Valentine’s Day! Myself and himself, Sean, would love to play the game this is our 9th valentines together so I was hoping for a “special” present this morning but it doesn’t look like it now although we are going out for something to eat later an as it’s a leap year maybe I should go for it haha’

So when the show’s producers rang Claire back, they asked her to consider popping the question herself – seeing as it is a leap year…

The mother-of-one came on air, and it seems cupid took a detour Northside for the day that’s in it.

We won’t ruin it for you, but that’s definitely one way to upstage any Valentine’s proposals today!
