Love Island winners Sanam and Kai get 'engaged' in bizarre radio stunt

Love Island's Kai and Sanam pretended to get engaged on a radio show, and fans are going wild.

The TV stars acted out a proposal when they appeared on the BBC Asian Network, using the producer's ring, to mark national proposal day.

Kai even shared a picture on Instagram of Sanam wearing a ring as he wrapped his arm around her as they beamed for the camera, writing: "OMG did this just happen live on the @bbcasiannetwork", with a link to the show.

Some fans got extremely excited about the news, sharing the picture on Twitter, but listeners were quick to set the record straight, and others pointed out they only left the Love Island villa last week.

One person, setting the record straight, wrote: "Lol guys relax, it was a mock proposal. Today is national proposal day and they were just acting it out with the radio producer's ring. Kai and Sanam are still gf/bf."

They may not be engaged, but the pair have plans to move in together.

In their exit interview, after scooping the £50,000, Kai said: "I've made it pretty clear that she is definitely going to be my girlfriend on the outside!

"As soon as we get out here, that's when even more effort starts.

"You can really value someone's time and effort when you have to put in the time and effort. That's what I am looking forward to."

Speaking about possibly moving from Manchester to Bedford, he said: "I've always said for the right girl and the right relationship you would move anywhere. If you've got a connection with someone and want to spend time with someone wherever they are it's going to feel like home. Living in Bedford is no issue."

Sanam confirmed: "I think it's something we both want, so we will work towards it."

The couple also spoke about their plans to spend their cash, when they appeared on The Morning after podcast.

Teacher Kai said: “We have about a thousand dates planned. We said we want to go to the Amalfi coast and Santorini. I feel like they are more holidays than dates. Maybe invest a little bit."

Meanwhile, Sanam said: “I am going to be soppy but I am going to give my mum some of course because it’s just me and mum so I have got to support her as well."

“I was literally on the phone going 'Mum you are getting some, I don’t care what Kai says you are getting some' and the rest we will spend on ourselves, invest and build something with it.”

The pair were all smiles as they held hands while leaving show's wrap party last night, following the reunion.

As they made their way home following the bash, the Islanders looked a little worse for wear as they headed back to their hotel in London.
