Boyfriend pops the question at Glasgow Westlife gig during 'Flying Without Wings'

The touching moment a Scottish couple got engaged during Westlife's gig on Sunday at Glasgow's Hydro was caught on camera.

The Irish pop stars played the venue for two nights and during their performance of all-time classic 'Flying without wings', one man popped the question to his girlfriend.

And one concert goer, Lauren Cooper, captured the life changing moment on her phone whilst trying to film her favourite song.

The couple, who are believed to be named Vicki and Danny, haven't been traced, but The Daily Record spoke to Lauren, who managed to capture the special moment and post it on TikTok.

She said: "I was filming 'Flying without wings' as it's my favourite Westlife song and I heard the people in front of me screaming. At first I didn't pay attention as I was just enjoying listening to the boys perform, then the lady next to me said 'he's pulled out a ring' and that's when I zoomed into the couple.

"Both Shane and Nicky's wives were in the same section and you can see Georgina Byrne in my video taking pictures of them both. I've since learned from TikTok that the couple are Vicki and Danny. It was amazing to see. He obviously put a lot of effort and planning into it."

Fans who were at the concert were loving the video. One wrote: "Think there’s some tears in my eyes. How cute."

Another commented: "Literally just balled my eyes out! What a perfect moment! Congratulations to whoever you guys are!"

During Westlife's first night in Glasgow, singer Nicky Byrne, was left 'battered and bruised' after he had an accident on stage.

After he fell on a set of mechanical stairs, the star wrote: "Hey All, Thank you for all your well wishes! So last night I did have a little accident on stage in Glasgow, where I didn't realise the mechanical stairs had opened behind me.

"A crazy moment which could have been a lot worse but I'm completely fine, a little bit battered and bruised but ok! I'll see y'all back up there tonight. The show must go on. Thanks for all your well wishes. #ReallyFlyingWithoutWings. Love Nicky".

Glasgow Live is hoping to chat to the happy couple, if you know Vicki and Danny email news@glasgowlive.co.uk
