COLLEYVILLE, Texas, Oct. 13 (UPI) -- A Texas man staged an elaborate proposal for his girlfriend on national TV with the help of ABC's "Good Morning America."

Logan Batlle, 25, enlisted the help of anchors George Stephanopoulos and Robin Roberts for his proposal to girlfriend Leeta Britton, 25, for the morning show's new "Live Love" segment, the Fort Worth (Texas) Star-Telegram reported Wednesday.

Britton, a teacher at Heritage Middle School in Colleyville, arrived early for work, believing she was to be interviewed by "GMA" about the school's girls' soccer team, which she coaches. However, during the interview, Roberts told Britton to look behind her, where her players were holding up placards spelling out "Will You Marry Me?"

Batlle then emerged with a ring box and knelt down next to Britton.

"I want to tell you that I love you more than anything in the world," Batlle said. "You're the most beautiful girl. And I know you wanted coffee this morning, but I think I got you something better."

Britton accepted the proposal.

"You are so crazy," she told Batlle.
