A woman who had the 'longest one night stand ever' has revealed what went down after she shared a taxi home after a night out.
Watch below, it's not what you think:
Catherine Gault's one night stand in 2016 changed her life forever.

Aged 21 at the time, the care worker parked her car outside the Limelight Club in Belfast, and was only planning to having a small sesh.
But before she knew it, she was suddenly three of four drinks down, stranded and unable to get home.
Her evening then escalated pretty quickly after she ended up sharing a taxi and having a one night stand at 22-year-old Jonathan Gillespie's house.
A week later, Catherine found out she was pregnant.
All of a sudden, the pair were forced to attend hospital appointments together, despite Catherine being unaware of Jonathan's last name.

However, as soon as 5lb 2oz Poppy Gillespie came along in 2017, Catherine and Jonathan's relationship went from strength-to-strength.
Catherine, from Lisburn, Northern Ireland, now shares three kids with Jonathan and has urged other women to just 'go on the night out', even if you don't feel like it.
Now aged 28, the mum-of-three recalled: "I drove down and wasn't going to drink. I left my car outside the club.
"I ended up stranded with no way home and then I met him.

"He told me I could have a place in his taxi because my friends knew him.
"Obviously I stayed over but I kind of thought that was it. I was like 'oh I'll never see him again, like that was nice but you know, I'm 21'. I didn't really think about it.
"I was living with my friends and my sister and I remember thinking 'Oh my boobs are so sore, like what is that?'
"I was like 'there's no way I'm pregnant because that'll be silly'. I took a test and I was pregnant.
"It's crazy it all happened from that one night. I do feel like it was fate and he'd probably say the same I think."

Catherine said: "As all couples do, we've had times where I've thought 'are we going to make it?', especially back then.
"Especially thinking back to when I got pregnant, I remember thinking 'I don't want to be with him, I'll just raise this kid and we can co-parent'.
"But now, I honestly could not survive one day without him. He is the love of my life and I am the love of his life. We can't believe it just worked out.
"I'm very glad my best friend convinced me to go out that night. I always say she's the reason I have this beautiful family."

She continued: "And the Limelight in Belfast, if I could go and thank them - they changed my life.
"You never know where you're going to find the man of your dreams. If your friend asks you to go out, go out, just do it. Just go on the nightout, don't say 'no'.
"If I said no that night, I'd never have this beautiful family.
"For women in the same situation where you're single and pregnant, it is scary. "Not everyone will have the same magical ending I had. I thought I was going to do it on my own without him.
"It's nice that it worked out but also don't worry if it doesn't."
The couple are now living happily ever after with their three kids, Poppy, six, Escanor, two, and seven-month baby Max.
