He has now proposed to Yan and promised to keep on feeding her

A jealous boyfriend who 'fattened up' his partner in a ploy to put off any love rivals has popped the question.

Attractive Yan Tai weighed just over seven stone when she began dating You Pan in South China's Guangdong Province.

But two years on when You asked her to marry him she was almost unrecognizable, according to The People's Daily.

Yan's weight had almost doubled - after she ballooned up to 14 stone 2lbs.

But her six-and-a-half-stone weight gain was all part of a plan to keep You's pretty girlfriend by his side forever.

Over months he made sure she ate as much as she could everyday, splashing out on meals for Yan almost every day.

The 20-year-old was treated to big breakfasts, huge lunches and massive dinners.

He even woke her up and fed her midnight snacks in a bid to stop her attracting too much attention from other men.
