Lancashire's 'Secret Fiancé' reveals wedding plans on Capital & it may involve Jordan North...
A Lancashire man who proposed live on Capital Radio last week has already revealed some of their wedding plans.
Darren Spencer, a Senior Leader of Education from Preston, has recently been at the centre of a very romantic segment on Capital Breakfast.
Over the past two weeks, radio presenters Jordan North- Darren’s fellow Lancastrian- , Siân Welby and Chris Stark have been chatting to someone called the ‘secret fiancé’ who planned to propose to their beloved live on air.
Listeners across the UK were gripped as the secret fiancé had been calling in with their voice disguised, dropping hints while people nationwide tried to work out if it could be their other half.
33-year-old Sophie, who works in administration, emotionally said yes and later told the radio station: “I’m just so shocked. Never in a million years did I think he [Darren] could pull something off like that or that it would even happen to me.”
This morning on Capital Breakfast, presenter Will Manning caught up with Darren to find out how the wedding preparations have been getting on, with the Prestonian revealing preparations are already “steaming ahead” and teasing a possible DJ set from Jordan North on the big day!
First explaining how his weekend was, now that the secret was finally out, Darren said: “Yeah, it’s been really special. But we’ve just tried to keep it low-key, you know, spending some time with my son and family who have come and taken everything in with us really.”
Will then asked: “When is the big day? When is the wedding happening?” and Darren replied: “Oh, my days! Let's just say things are steaming ahead.”
Asked if that meant potential venues have already been looked into, Darren said: “Yes, not like I’ve had much input. But Sophie has now taken control of the reigns. Sophie normally leads a lot of our logistics and planning. But she’s certainly looking at a few venues and more to be confirmed.”
Will then responded: “Oooo! You know Jordan, Chris and Sian are going to be looking for an invite by the way and the extended team”, to which Darren answered: “ Oh yeah!”

Rounding off their chat, the radio presenter then had his own suggestion for Darren and Sophie’s wedding, as he said: “I was going to say, get Jordan on the decks and get a free DJ set out of him if you can. Chris Stark will be up for it as well.”
In response, Darren said: “Ah I’d love that!”
Will added: “Sian will be too drunk if my wedding is anything to go by so don’t try to rope her into anything professional.”
Darren merely laughed at this little tip!
