Getting down on one knee on live TV seems a daunting notion, but for Mick Harrington, there was simply no other way to propose to his partner of six years, Bec Lade.

“I knew if I’d told her in advance she’d have just said no. She’s pretty reserved and doesn’t like the spotlight,” the 32-year-old tells Woman’s Day.

“She’s also pretty switched on so I knew I had to do something that would surprise her and surprise her I did – she had no idea it was coming!”

The Victorian gardener shocked superstar coaches Keith Urban, Jessica Mauboy, Rita Ora and Guy Sebastian when, after turning all four chairs with his stirring rendition of Somewhere Over The Rainbow, he brought Bec and their two daughters, Bella, four, and 18-month-old Katie, onto the stage before popping the question.
