Only when the couple went on their first date did they realise they had much in common.

They had played in the same park as kids; both had children at the same school and, incredibly, had never met, despite living only a few minutes apart their whole lives.

Chris and Michelle have been together for seven months and see much more of each other.

Chris said:

"It’s like it just wasn’t meant to happen until now. It was the last thing I expected. I was looking for something out of the ordinary and that’s exactly what I found."

While Mitchelle said:

"We’re planning for the future but I haven’t popped the question yet. It’s great because if we get married our surname will be Place-Tooby – like ‘place-to-be'."
