Prince Charming live streams his Disney World proposal to his Tinder date lover on Facebook Live
Watch the moment romantic Jonathan Twigg pops the question to Steph Green backstage at Beauty and the Beast show
ROMANTIC Jonathan Twigg proved to be a real Prince Charming when he proposed to his girlfriend Steph Green at Disney World in Florida - and streamed it on Facebook Live so his family could watch at home.
The 27-year-old TV worker sprang the surprise on Steph two years after they met on dating app Tinder.

The couple went backstage to meet the cast after watching the Beauty and the Beast show at resort's Hollywood Studios.
And that's when Jonathan got down on one knee and popped the question after months of planning.
To make sure his friends and family didn't miss the big occasion, he streamed it live on Facebook and his video has now had more than 20,000 views.
Jonathan's workmates on the set of Coronation Street even designed a special box containing the ring and magic bands which he handed to Steph, from Bolton.
The loved-up couple met in Manchester two years ago and moved into an apartment together in January last year.

They booked a two-week holiday to Orlando in January and are currently staying at the resort, enjoying all the attractions and theme parks.
Crew coordinator Jonathan, from Accrington, Lancs, who used to work on Emmerdale, said: "You don't expect to meet your future bride on Tinder, but I got lucky!"
Steph left her job as a theatre practitioner at the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital just before flying to Florida and will take up a new job as school nurse coordinator when she returns home.
Jonathan said: "I thought of a number of ideas - outside the castle at Magic Kingdom, in a safari at Animal Kingdom but wanted to incorporate a favourite film of ours and that's why Beauty and the Beast show at Hollywood Studios was chosen.
"A work colleague of mine who was at the park a few weeks before we flew out got contacts and information, then got in touch with the stage manager who organised a personal meet and greet after the show and I informed friends and family when the deed would take place so they could prepare.
"Disney organised a personal photographer who captured the proposal and all the tears.

"I was very nervous on the day. I accidentally broke her sunglasses and forgot the sun cream. Steph commented on how I wasn't with it.
"The stage manager told us afterwards that the cast of the show, while performing, were in the loop and were making eye contact with me to see how I was doing and to spur me on."
It was also a double celebration for Steph as she turned 26 just two days after getting engaged.
She posted on Facebook afterwards: "Still in so much shock from such an amazing day. I can't thank everyone enough who was involved.
"You helped make it so magical and perfect and I'm so happy you could see the end result. My dream has come true and I'm now engaged to my best friend and soul mate.
"What a way to celebrate, he doesn't do things by half."
The couple plan to tie the knot in 2018.
