A woman has shared a video of her boyfriend of six years playing a proposal prank on her at Christmas - but she was forced to reassure viewers she saw the funny side after it sparked anger.

It's a hugely popular time for people to pop the question, so when one woman's boyfriend pulled out a small square box, she already felt like she knew what was coming.

She immediately begins to tear up and clasps her hands to her face in shock, while her partner says: "I love you so much, it's been six years" as he gets down on one knee, while someone else films the special moment.

But as he opens the box, he says: "Will you please... take these earrings?", as he opens the lid to reveal two glittering pieces of jewellery where the ring should have been.
