Soldier proposes to wrong number

THE hunt is on for the pregnant girlfriend of a British soldier who called from the front line to propose - but dialled a wrong number and left a message with the wrong woman.

In the answerphone message, the soldier, thought to be calling from Afghanistan, tells his girlfriend Samantha how much he loves her and their unborn child, before finally proposing marriage.

The 90-second call was received by Diane Potts, 44, of Gateshead.
