SURPRISE! Sam Armytage's second shock proposal

The Sunrise host was not expecting this! - by New Idea Team
  • 03 Jul 2020

Samantha Armytage shared the exciting news of proposal to horse breeder Richard Lavender just last week, sending fans into a frenzy.

But, Sam was caught by surprise during the Sunrise broadcast this morning when a second proposal took place, live on air!

One fan wasn't as delighted as the rest by Sam’s engagement news.

In fact, he thought he is a much better fit for the Sunrise host. So much so, he decided to pop the question during weatherman Sam Mac’s segment.

“For a moment I thought that was directed at me, but let's meet this gentleman,” Sam Mac said as a gentleman waves a sign in the background saying: “Marry me instead Sam. A”.

"There is a late offer coming through, apparently his name is Kevin." Sam continued.

Kevin crashed Sam's broadcast.

Asking if the eager gentleman had a message for Samantha, he responded: “Marry me!”

Unfortunately, Sam politely declined responding: “That’s a beautiful proposal. Thank you, Kevin, but I’m spoken for”.

What really sent the admired presenter into giggles, however, was Sam Mac asking Kevin if he thought he could compete with her new fiancée, Richard.

Kevin hilariously responded: “He looks like he's got his s**t together, I think!”

Sam said 'Yes!' to Richard.

Sam announced her engagement to Richard, 60, via Instagram, sharing a photo together with dazzling ring on show.

“What a year …” she captioned the loved-up snaps.

“We’re very happy and very lucky to have found each other,” Sam then told WHO in an exclusive statement.  

Returning to the morning show after spending time away on Richard’s property, Sam revealed exactly how he popped the question.

“We’d been picking weeds in the paddock and he said, ‘Darling, do you want to marry me?’” she said. “It was very sweet, very romantic. He’s just a very charming, lovely fellow.”

“We’re all thrilled, our families are the happiest, they’re so excited. Mum burst into tears!”
