Kylie Minogue fans have been left divided after a surprise marriage proposal took place during her ITV special, An Audience with Kylie. The proposal occurred at the Royal Albert Hall in London, where Minogue put on a dazzling concert to wrap up her phenomenal 2023.
During the show, Minogue answered questions from the adoring crowd, which included celebrity guests such as Jonathan Bailey, Nicola Coughlan, Andrew Scott, and Olly Alexander. However, it was not one of the famous faces in the audience that stole the spotlight, but a gay couple who decided to make Kylie a part of their happily ever after.
The memorable moment came when one fan managed to catch Minogue’s attention and took hold of the microphone under the guise of asking her a question. He revealed that he had brought his partner and two sons to the show and wanted it to be a memorable and special night. Then, to everyone’s surprise, he turned to his partner Martin and asked, “So, Martin, would you marry me?”
The question sparked a rapturous cheer from the audience at the Royal Albert Hall, and Martin broke down in tears. Looking up to Minogue, he asked her, “What would you say?” To which Kylie roared, “Yes!”
Minogue herself was flabbergasted by the proposal and asked the happy couple how they had met. They revealed that they had actually met at her 2005 Showgirl: The Greatest Hits tour, making the proposal a truly full circle moment for them.
After congratulating the couple and expressing her disbelief at what had just happened, Minogue climbed down from the stage to give them a big hug. The celebrity guests in attendance, including Alan Carr and Rylan Clark, whooped and cheered in support of the newly engaged couple.
However, when the proposal aired on ITV on Sunday night, the response from viewers was mixed. While some were touched by the heartwarming moment, others confessed to cringing in their sofas. One unimpressed viewer tweeted, “Imagine hijacking a show with a tacky marriage proposal ffs.” Another claimed, “Could have done without that public proposal. If anyone ever did that to me, I’d flat turn them down.” Many agreed that a public proposal would be their worst nightmare.
On the other hand, plenty of Kylie fans were charmed by the engagement and even shed a tear or two. One emotional viewer asked, “Why am I crying at that proposal?” Another raved, “That proposal has made my heart burst. That was the CUTEST thing.” It seems that while some viewers were divided, there were many who found the moment incredibly heartwarming and sweet.
Regardless of personal opinions on public proposals, one fan concluded that it was only fitting for there to be a wedding proposal at “the campest show ever.” It seems that Kylie Minogue’s special night will be remembered not only for her spectacular performance but also for the surprise engagement that took place in the audience.
An Audience with Kylie is now available to watch on ITVX, allowing fans to relive the unforgettable concert and the unexpected moment of love and celebration.
