Suffolk man pops question with Rolf Harris art

A love-struck art lover from Suffolk and his partner are soon to find themselves in the throes of wedding planning thanks to Rolf Harris.

Phil Lee entered a Wispa Gold poster competition and was selected as the winner by Rolf himself, who, for his prize, painted a giant billboard with a message asking his girlfriend Jackie Haworth to marry him.

The couple had been enjoying a shopping trip in London when Phil, 27, brought the 37-year-old to the poster, which read: "Jackie, will you marry me?"

Commenting on the engagement surprise, Phil told the Mirror: "I was so nervous I dropped the ring."

Friends and family of the happy couple will no doubt be looking forward to receiving their wedding invitations, but whether the nuptials will reflect the engagement with an art theme remains to be seen.

Anyone considering popping the question to their other half will no doubt be in the market for a sparkling diamond ring, which the Rapaport Group recently dubbed the symbol of "more than the traditional love".
