Regular Radio 2 listener Keith, was on air with Elaine Paige when she read out a moving letter from his partner Pieter. The letter was about “what love is.”
At the end of the letter Pieter popped on the line and proposed to him a first for Elaine’s programme on BBC Radio 2.
A spokesperson for the show said,
“Elaine was, as I’m sure many of the listeners were, almost in tears. It was beautiful. Pieter then came on the line and popped the question to his long time love.”

The on air proposal was met with support from many Twitter users congratulating Keith and Pieter on their new engagement.
