Man gets down on one knee on Valentine's Day... To ask girlfriend to make him a cup of tea

(INSIDE EDITION) - A man is in hot water after pranking his girlfriend with a fake proposal on Valentine's Day.

In a video shared to Facebook, Brad Holmes, from Southampton, England, leads his girlfriend, Jenny Davies, from the couch before dropping to one knee at her feet.

Jenny, whom he's been dating for six months, is seen gasping and holding her hands to her face in shock.

"I got a question to ask you. Will you..." he begins.

He opens a small white box - but rather than reveal a ring, it shows a single tea bag.

"...make me a cup of tea?" he finishes.

Jenny is not impressed.

"What is that?! Are you f***ing joking?!" she shouts, before throwing the box to the ground and storming out the room. Brad is left behind, laughing at his prank.

"I don't believe she knew it was coming," he told INSIDE EDITION. "I genuinely believe that she thought I was proposing."

Despite her anger, Jenny got over it, Brad told IE.

"She was fine after 15, 20 minutes," he said. "I got my cup of tea in the end."
