In the background, dancers who had been posing as customers dragged Dan and Ellen away from their seats and began a routine into front of them.

Finally, the dancers opened their shirts, to reveal t-shirts reading ‘Will you marry me?’ as a giddy Dan got on one knee. 

‘Since the day I met you Helen, you made me happy, so happy everyday. I just want to spend the rest of my life with you

‘I want to ask you to marry me,’ he added, with a quiver in his voice. 

Ellen, who kept dabbing her eyes with a tissues, said yes, with the dancers and filming crew cheering her and Daniel on.
