Gogglebox viewers were left stunned when popular married couple Dave and Shirley recalled how they became engaged. The hit show aired its latest episode on Channel 4 at 9pm on Friday, April 8.
While watching Made in Chelsea, the reality TV show, Dave and Shirley got onto the topic of conversation on how Dave had popped the question years ago. He asked: "How did I propose to you?" Shirley replied quickly: "Erm, I don't know. I can't even remember if I'm honest."
Dave asked his wife if he had even gone down on one knee, which Shirley didn't seem sure about - then admitting they were both drunk at the time of the proposal. Viewers were quick to take to social media to explain how they thought this meant the couple were "marriage goals" and made for each other.

One wrote: "Oh that Welsh couple on Goggle box has just had my screaming. Sat on my own."
"Dave and Shirley are massive marriage goals right there," another said. One twitter user simply wrote: "Dave and Shirley are the best. I think we were p*****d!! I’m dying."
Another Gogglebox viewer said: "Both forgetting how the marriage proposal went down. Now that's love."
