Harding's a maze-ing proposal
May 23, 2007

FRANKSTON Australian Idol-er Lee Harding has scored the touchdown of a lifetime proposing to his girlfriend of six years, Nicole Hansen, on Sunday.

The Wasabi singer had planned to pop the question while sky-diving, but had to do some quick thinking when bad weather kept the high-school sweethearts on the ground.

Harding then took Hansen to the Mornington Peninsula's Ashcombe Maze and, along with his sister Danielle, brother-in-law Andrew and a maze employee, held up a 10m banner asking those four magic words, "Will you marry me?"

Of course, she said yes.

No word on a wedding date, but Harding is busy writing his second album.

Middle of the road support

WOULD-be Idoler Nathaniel Willemse had a nice surprise from an idol of his own last weekend.

Willemse was busy entertaining the Chapel St troops during his regular Sunday arvo gig at Frost Bites when a heckler popped his head out the window of a cab.

Only thing was the heckler was Guy Sebastian, who was stuck in heavy traffic.

Apparently, Sebastian gave Willemse a big thumbs up, before disappearing down the road.

De Vito remix

AND in other Australian Idol news, big-voiced Cosima De Vito has made a comeback of sorts.

De Vito's new single, Keep It Natural, entered the dance charts this week, albeit at No. 31.

DJ Alex Taylor added the beats to the remixed version.
