Stephen Fry's marriage proposal nearly didn't go to plan.
The 57-year-old entertainer tied the knot with writer Elliot Spencer last month, but has revealed his planned proposal in a London restaurant almost unravelled before his eyes.
He shared: "I kind of knew that he'd say yes.
"We had kind of
danced around the subject [of marriage]. I bought a ring and waited for him to pop off to the loo and put the ring on the prongs of a fork so that he would see it as he started to eat.
"I thought it would be charming. Of course he came back and he started chatting and he started playing with the fork and I thought, 'For God's sake, look at the fork'. You don't really ever look at forks, do you? And I thought, 'He's going to pick it up and the ring is going to fly off into that lady's soup.'"
However, Elliott noticed the ring just in time.
