APPEAR on our TV show, there'll be a surprise for you.

That was all Ms Svetlana Orlovo was told when she was invited to be on Spain's daytime Patricia's Daily Show.

But the 'surprise' last week may have led to her losing her life - sitting opposite her on the set was her former boyfriend, Ricardo Navarro, who had beaten her for years.

On the show, Navarro, 30, produced an engagement ring and proposed to Ms Orlovo, a Russian living in Spain, reported The Times.

Looking deeply uncomfortable, Ms Orlovo shook her head.

Five days later, Navarro allegedly stabbed her in the neck, killing her.

The TV station is now under fire to drop the programme, which is known for bringing together weeping, quarrelling couples, reported the Washington Post.

The kiling has also prompted ministers to hold talks with broadcasters over the nation's trashy TV culture.

According to the Spanish newspapers, Ms Orlova had thought the surprise would be her mother.

Navarro had said on the show that he and Ms Orlova broke up because of a dispute over money.

Ms Orlova contested that, saying: 'There were many other things', but did not elaborate.

Navarro then went down on one knee and asked her to marry him.

'Come back,' he said sounding tearful, as the audience cooed. 'You are everything for me.'

'I want you to marry me. You're everything for me. Everything, everything,' he is reported to have said as Ms Orlova shook her head slightly.

The host then urged her: 'Well, Svetlana, say something. We are all on tenterhooks. Is that 'no' or 'I don't know'? Say it clearly.'

Ms Orlovo, who eventually said 'no' on screen, was stabbed five days later and died in hospital.

She leaves a son, 5, who is now being looked after by his father.

Navarro was arrested for her murder.

The show's production company denied being responsible for her death, saying that it, too, had been deceived by Navarro.

'Nothing made us suspect that a tragedy like this could occur,' it said.

Other cases

This is not the first act of violence in Spain seemingly triggered by a TV show, reported TheTimes. Other cases:

# 1997 - Ana Orantes, 60, talks about abusive husband on TV show. Several days later, he ties her to a chair, douses her in petrol and sets her alight, killing her.

# 2004 - Andres Reyes kills 18-year-old girlfriend after she appears on TV show and talks about his abuse of her.

# 2005 - Mariano Navas stabs girlfriend, citing 'humiliation' on Patricia's Daily Show as mitigating factor.
