Underpants proposal!

An English radio journalist has proposed to his girlfriend by stripping down to his underwear in front of a camera and hiring a cinema to show the resulting film.

Pete Simson, a 26-year-old who works for the BBC, took his girlfriend Hannah McDonagh to see what he told her was an art house French film at a local cinema in Bristol for her birthday, The Times reports. Miss McDonagh, 25, did not know her boyfriend had hired out the cinema, or that the movie audience and cinema staff were in on the deception.

Once the commercials had rolled, a half-naked Simson appeared on screen and began to mime 'If You're Not the One' by British pop singer Daniel Bedingfield.

Luckily for Simson, his bizarre proposal worked and Miss McDonagh said yes.

"The Watershed (cinema) did it for free — they even arranged for a fake audience, printed tickets and put adverts at the beginning as if it were a real film," Simson said.

The film, which was shot by Simson's housemate over three days, has now become a hit on video sharing site YouTube... check it out below!
