Lisa Oldfield tricked her Instagram followers into believing she was engaged on Thursday, only to reveal it was a bizarre prank just minutes later.
The 44-year-old shared a photo of a diamond ring on her finger alongside a caption which strongly suggested her boyfriend James Laws had proposed.
But despite using the hashtag '#engaged' in her post, Lisa told Daily Mail Australia that there was actually nothing to announce and it was just a 'false alarm'.

'False alarm! It was a friend being stupid on my phone. Just out of a facial and saw my good news! Nothing to see here,' Lisa said.
In her Instagram post, which has since been deleted, Lisa showed off her diamond-encrusted engagement ring featuring an elegant swirl design.
'Well I didn't see that coming! #engaged,' she wrote in the accompany caption.
