A lover doesn't make a Love Confession to their beloved, but rather, to a third party. That third party then declares the lover's love to the beloved—either deliberately or accidentally.
This may happen for a variety of reasons. For instance, the broker may be either:
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) Willing to tell the beloved about the lover's love at the request of the lover.
Telling it to the beloved in exchange for something (especially in a "forbidden love" setting or if the lover is just so shy).
Telling it to the beloved behind the lover's back.
Unaware that the lover hasn't already confessed.
Simply unable to keep a secret.
Are a Shipper on Deck for the couple in question.

In the first episode of the Jeeves and Wooster TV adaptation, Bertie Wooster attempts to play this role for his friend Bingo Little, who is infatuated with Honoria Glossop, but Honoria instead gets the impression that he's speaking on his own behalf, and spends the rest of the series convinced that Bertie is pining for her.

In Gotham Barbara informs Ed that Penguin is in love with him. Her intentions however are more sinister than it is usual for this trope since she uses it to prove that Penguin had a motive to kill Ed's girlfriend and to turn Ed against him.

Naruto:

In the canon movie The Last: Naruto the Movie, Sakura takes this role, where she gives Naruto a important pep-talk regarding Hinata's love for him. This time, it worked.

In the sequel, if you pick Colette in the Iselia/Flanoir sidequest near the end of the game, Emil tells Lloyd she’s in love with him (Colette never told Emil this, but he seems to pick this information up from a skit that occurs early on in the game). This ultimately leads to the two getting together by the end of the sidequest.

In My Love Story!!, Takeo and Yamato like each other, but Takeo is convinced that she likes his best friend Suna instead. After a date gone wrong because of of this, Suna gets fed up with Takeo's denseness and just straight up tells him that he's the one Yamato really likes. Even after hearing this Takeo can't believe it's true, so Suna tricks Yamato herself into declaring her love for Takeo in no uncertain terms, thinking that she's telling it to Suna in confidence when Takeo is actually hidden in the room, eavesdropping. A stunned Takeo then reveals himself, and after the initial shock he and Yamato confess to each other properly.

The Odd Couple (1970): Felix falls madly in love with Gloria and wants to marry her, but he becomes such a nervous wreck that he loses his voice before he can propose to her, and he practically begs Oscar to propose to her on his behalf, even going so far as writing down very specific instructions on what to do and say. Oscar, wanting to get out of there, basically cuts to the chase and asks Gloria to marry Felix, to which she agrees.

In the Jeeves and Wooster series by P. G. Wodehouse, Bertie Wooster repeatedly fills this role.
In Right Ho, Jeeves he attempts to tell Madeleine Bassett that Gussie Fink-Nottle is in love with her. Unfortunately, he phrases it so vaguely that Madeleine ends up convinced that Bertie is in love with her instead.
Bertie also serves in this capacity for his Serial Romeo friend Bingo Little, with varying results.
