Adele kicked off her world tour by encouraging one fan to propose to her boyfriend on stage.

The singer of megahit Hello invited a fan named Hayley on stage at Belfast's SSE Arena in celebration of the leap year - February 29th is usually celebrated by the Irish as the day in which a woman can propose to her boyfriend.

According to Evening Standard, Hayley had popped the question earlier in the day only for her boyfriend, Neil, to reply with a “maybe”.

After the 11,000 strong crowd booed, Adele told him: "You have to say yes.”

Adele continued her cupid role by calling on the crowd to chant “come on Neil”.

Hayley’s boyfriend eventually nodded his head.

Adele worldwide tour will travel across Europe and North Ameria before wrapping up in November.
