Ms Cressey then gave her partner the thumbs up.

Speaking to the BBC, Cressey is quoted as saying: "I suspected something when I saw that my mum and dad were there because I knew they weren't supposed to be there and then I saw them through the glass window.

"I just wanted to cry but I thought I'd best not cry because I was concentrating too much on breathing you see, it's quite difficult."

Purdiew, 30, thanked staff at the aquarium, adding: "The staff had a board made for us with a question on it because obviously you can't talk very well under the water. I thought Rebecca would have said yes because I think she's been hinting for a long enough time."

Stacy Adams from Skegness Aquarium said: "We were all very excited for them and wish them 'best fishes' for the future."

The couple have not yet set a date for their wedding.
