The French lifeguard called the experience “magical” and said she was “very proud” of the Irish.

Hundreds of fans were seen chanting “Can’t take my eyes off you” before one snatches a cheeky kiss.

Carla – who also took her phone out to film the crowd - told Mail Online: “I want to say that I am very proud of the Irish, it was a magical time filled with kindness and joy.”

The viral clip starts with the crowd singing the Frankie Valli lyrics: "You're just too good to be true, can't take my eyes off of you."

The crowd in Bordeaux were in good spirits despite their defeat in Saturday’s game.

The footage was taken by a fan on a mobile phone and shows Irish supporters queuing up to get down on one knee for Carla.

A rendition of Hey Baby then starts and when one man gives Carla a kiss on the cheek the crowd cheer.

The fan turns around pretending to be embarrassed while Carla takes in what is going on around her with a pal.

Carla can be seen holding her hands to her mouth in disbelief as the fans continue to serenade her following their side’s 3-0 loss to Belgium.

In the footage uploaded to Facebook on Saturday she can be seen talking with a friend and when she gives one fan a peck on the cheek the crowd erupts in cheers around them.

Viewers have commented on the footage saying: “Those fans just give their country the best publicity ever.”

Another added: “Love this video. The world needs more people like this that brighten the world up.”

The video is in stark contrast to the scenes of hooliganism that have rocked Euro 2016.

Yesterday Sun Online revealed exclusive footage which captured the moment England fans were ambushed by a group of ‘Lyon Ultras’ who threw bottles and tables during the latest confrontation at Euro 2016.

Eyewitness said a notorious group of 30 local hooligans stormed a square attempting to provoke innocent Three Lions supporters into a mass brawl.

The Three Lions supporters were taunted by the French yobs who threw bottles and chairs before police finally intervened.

It follows attacks on England supporters by Russian yobs earlier on in the tournament.
