Having missed out on his own copy from the station on his way through, it was a fellow Tube passenger's Metro that caught Ben's eye. Clocking his name, the 23-year-old panicked at the sight of it on the front cover. 'I don't always get a Metro at my station - depending on the time of the morning there can be hardly any left,' he explained. 'So I didn't get a Metro this morning and, on the train, this guy was reading it in front of me. 'Then I saw my name and I thought "what?" I sort of blinked twice, then I'm looking around for a Metro - I gave up my seat to try to find one. 'When I found one and saw the front cover properly it was a shock - and as soon as I got above ground again at Marble Arch I had five or six missed calls on my phone from people asking if I'd seen it.' Ben eventually gave his partner a resounding 'YES' when the pair were able to get through to each other a few hours later - after Ben initially texted Jon with the promise: 'I'm going to kill you!'The couple says they may tie the knot on their next anniversary in May.
