Romantic! X Factor contestant Sam Black melted the hearts of viewers on Sunday night as he proposed to his long-time girlfriend Emma Smith
Ahead of the standout moment of the show, Sam Black proceeded to sing Del Shannon’s Runaway – which quickly had Simon sighing and he stopped the performance.
‘I would not advise you to sing this song,’ Simon told him, before continuing: ‘Can I suggest you to sing that again and slow down so we can hear your voice properly?’
After Sam delivered what he asked, Simon informed him: ‘I think people are going to like you but we are going to have to say no.’
However, while Sam was clearly disappointed, for him there was unfinished business, as he quickly ushered his stunning girlfriend Emma on stage.
