Soldier’s proposal message on wrong phone

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 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 44-year-old mother-of-three Diane Potts. She said the unnamed soldier did not sound older than 18 and spoke with a Sunderland accent.
