Ah the X Factor, Saturday nights hardly get more romantic than this.
The reality TV show has produced its fair share of weird and wonderful moments and this latest one sits somewhere in between the two.
Couple Charlotte and Silva just auditioned as duo ‘He Knows She Knows’.
The pair explain that they’ve been singing together since they met six months ago. Silva explains that Charlotte messaged him on Christmas Eve and, overcome with passion, they moved in together on Boxing Day.
The couple were actually quite talented and they earned the approval of all four judges for their rendition of Justin Bieber’s ‘Love Yourself’.
Before they could run off and prepare for Bootcamp though, Silva took the opportunity to propose to his redheaded lover.
She said yes, obviously and said she’s never had a happier day.
Watch the incredible moment below. We cannot be held responsible for any cringe-induced injuries sustained while watching it.
Everyone on the show seemed pretty delighted with the whole incident.
But not everyone is so thrilled with the idea of a public proposal and many on Twitter are calling bullshit on the whole thing.

#XFactor so we've had a proposal, all that's left is a on screen divorce and a live birth

#Xfactor wedding proposal. Girl had a wonderful opportunity to say, "It's a no from me," just for the lolz. Missed opportunity.

At the end of the day though, the only people who have to be happy about it are the two of them, and they seem pretty delighted. Best of luck to them.
