Rebecca lights up at Kinder Egg proposal in Ballycotton

A love-struck young man has gone to eggs-traordinary heights to give his girlfriend a Kinder-surprise with a romantic difference.

Ryan Johnson, 23, from Plymouth in Devon, hid an engagement ring inside the popular children’s treat before becoming the first man to propose atop Ballycotton lighthouse, off the Cork coast.

The sweet proposal on the lighthouse balcony was enough to light up the face of his delighted but stunned girlfriend, Rebecca Daly, 21, who said yes.
