British singer Robbie Williams proposed to his actress girlfriend, Ayda Field, live on Australian radio, stunning listeners.
   
Field was in the studio with Williams, 35, for the Kyle and Jackie O show on Australian radio station 2DayFM in Sydney to promote his new album Reality Killed the Video Star.
    
Presenter Jackie Henderson was telling him that Sydney has a bit of a reputation for proposals with celebrities at which point Williams turned to Field and said: "Is there anyone you want to get married to?"
   
She replied: "This is so awkward."
   
To which Williams said: "Will you marry me?"  After a pause, Field, 30, answered: "Yes, I'll marry you."
   
Williams did not have a ring at hand to offer his girlfriend of two-years so Henderson offered them her own frog design ring which he slipped onto Field's finger.
   
One of Europe's most successful entertainers, Williams rose to fame as a member of the hit boy band Take That before forging a successful solo career.
   
The singer, who now lives in Los Angeles, has been out of the public eye in the last few years since he left a US rehabilitation centre in Marcy 2007 when he was treated for prescription drug addiction.

His new album is his first release in three years.
