Luke Coburn said he couldn't believe it when his girlfriend, Rebecca Redbourn, sent him a text showing a PS5 in their hallway.
Rebecca sent this iMessage to Luke:
"Omg look what just got delivered. The box is huge!!! How am I supposed to hide that until Christmas?!"
Before sending another message saying: "Omg!!! Ignore that. I was supposed to send that to Kathie [her sister]."
Luke couldn't believe his luck, replying with: "You best be f***ing joking."
Rebecca continued to get Luke's hopes up with more pictures of the console...
Even going as far as apologizing for ruining the surprise.
Luke said: "F*** sake I've gone all weird haha I love you so much aye I don't deserve that though!"
"An[d] how the f*** do I stay away from it for a month and not just that how the f*** do I match that for you hahaha."
But Rebecca couldn't keep it going...
Coming clean about it all, and sharing the whole prank online, which has understandably gone viral.
Rebecca said: "We will still have an amazing Christmas"...
"Although, I don't think Luke will be happy unwrapping a pair of socks rather than the PS5 he was expecting."

When asked why she did it, she responded...
"He's such a wind-up, we've been together almost 4 years now and he's constantly playing pranks around the house.
"Mainly jumping out on me and recording my reaction and using fake spiders to scare me. Now we've got 2 young boys, he gets them involved too. I am outnumbered."
She admitted she expects Luke to get her back just as big...
"Luke has already admitted that nothing he will do [to prank me] can top this but I know that won't stop him. He will do everything to come up with something bigger and better."
Luke added: "I'm still a bit gutted about it. I'm starting to see the funny side, but obviously, she had me a good one.
He continued...
"I was a bit sceptical at first but then when she sent me a photo of it behind the bedroom door upstairs, that's when I believed her even more.
"I was telling everyone at work and showing them the picture of the PlayStation 5 she got me.
"Obviously I said how much I love it and don't deserve it, and I couldn't believe it. She messaged me then saying she couldn't keep it going anymore and it was an Instagram filter."
He was gutted...
"I was gutted when she made that reveal. I still didn't know if she was trying to cover her tracks or not and she had gotten me it, but then I looked on Instagram and saw it was a filter.
"It all confirmed for me then and sunk in. I had to go and tell the boys that she had me a good one. They were all in tears laughing, especially the men."
Check out the whole prank below...
"I'm definitely going to plan a good revenge, it's just what. How do I top it? She's gone viral with it."
I don't think he could ever!
