Paolo Nutini proposes to fan

PAOLO NUTINI has proposed to a fan at one of his concerts on behalf of her boyfriend.

The singer was approached by Dave Campbell before he played a concert in Liverpool last week, and told him he was planning to propose to girlfriend Debbie Casey during her Nutini song, Alloway Grove.

But Campbell lost his nerve during the song backed out - so Nutini took matters into his own hands and asked her instead.

Campbell said: "I'd resigned myself to the fact that it wasn't going to happen, when suddenly Paolo stopped singing and shouted, 'Is Debbie Casey here? If you are here, Debbie, will you marry Dave?'

"I don't know who was more surprised, me or Debbie. It was unbelievable. Paolo had obviously remembered what I had said and decided to help. Thankfully, she said yes and just flung herself into my arms.

"It was such a surreal moment. The pair of us were so happy and, when Paolo found out Debbie had said yes, he congratulated us mid-way through the concert. It was by far the best gig I've ever been to."
