Is this the cruellest Valentine's prank ever? Man tricks his girlfriend into thinking he's going to propose as he gets down on one knee - then asks her to make a cup of TEA

A man tricked his girlfriend into thinking he was going to propose to her by getting down on one knee with a ring box on Valentine's Day.

Brad Holmes, from Southampton, told his girlfriend Jenny Davies, from Portsmouth, how happy she makes him. He can then be seen taking out a white box from his pocket in the footage which has been seen more than seven million times.

Jenny looks overcome with emotion as Brad goes down on one knee. But instead of asking her to marry him, he leaves her shocked by saying: 'Will you make me a cup of tea?

 
I want you to make me the happiest man in the world. I have got a question to ask you.'

Brad has the small jewellery box in his hands and it's all too much for Jenny, who now has both hands to her mouth.

There's more suspense when Brad is unable to open the box.But when he does, he asks: 'Will you make me a cup of tea?'

And instead of a big diamond ring, the box contains nothing more than a tea bag.

Jenny appears to be less than impressed - as she grabs the box and throws it to the floor.

 

She storms out of the room screaming: 'Are you f****** joking.

'You horrible little ****.'

Since the video was posted yesterday, it has been viewed 7.7million times on Brad's Facebook page.

Brad, who shares videos under the name Brad's Dad and often pranks his father Stephen Holmes, has 400,000 people like his page but even some of those were shocked by the prank.

Zlatko Georgevski posted: 'That was not cool bro. That's one thing you don't do to get likes or laughs. I'll be surprised if she didn't leave you after that.'

While Joanne Rowland jumped to Brad's defence, she wrote: 'Everyone jumping on the band wagon that this is so wrong, worse thing ever, she knows what he's like! 

'That's why she loves him, I'm a woman and I think it's funny. She probably laughing now anyway.'
