LATE actor Bob Saget once revealed that he proposed to his wife Kelly Rizzo as the pair watched Stanger Things.

Saget was found dead in his hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando around 4pm by hotel security on Sunday.

He was pronounced dead at the scene as reports later emerged that the star may have suffered a heart attack or a stroke.

The Full House Star popped the question to Rizzo in November 2017 and shared the happy news on his Instagram.

He joked: "Love the people in this picture. The most loving and legendary @George_Shapiro Katie Killean & of course my gal Kelly.

“In case you're wondering, we were celebrating our engagement— and I know George and I will be very happy together."

At the time, Rizzo also shared the engagement news on social media – showing off the impressive ring.

"Who needs pearls??? Enjoying my favourite food with my new favourite accessory," she captioned the photo.

In a interview with People, Saget later shared how he and Rizzo has been settling down to watch the Netflix show when he nipped to the bathroom.  

There, he had secretly concealed an engagement ring for four days and firmly believed that the time was right to pop the question.

"We were watching Stranger Things on the iPad, and then I got up to go to the restroom," he recalled.

“I opened the safe and I took out a ring that I had been hiding for four days and I got on one knee."

"And she said 'What are you doing?' and she got very emotional and so did I."

In 2018, the couple tied the knot at a ceremony on Santa Monica beach, California.
