Strictly Come Dancing winner Kelvin Fletcher is enjoying some quality family time after lifting the coveted Glitterball.
The former Emmerdale star has been soaking up the sun in Dubai with his wife Eliza and two children Marnie and Milo before Christmas.
Kelvin, from Oldham , promised to jet his family away on holiday after tearing up the dancefloor on Strictly , and he kept to his word.
He joked that there's never a moment's rest, but they've been loving spending time together after months of hard work on Strictly Come Dancing.
He shared a photo of himself cradling Marnie poolside at the Wild Wadi Waterpark on Instagram and wrote: "Not a moments rest but who cares!"
Another adorable photo showed Kelvin holding Marnie while baby Milo poked a finger in Eliza's open mouth.
"It’s not quite the #strictly dance floor......" he said next to another snap of himself leaping in the air on the sand on a desert safari.
The photo sparked memories for his Strictly dance partner Oti Mabuse of their dance routine to Trip A Little Light Fantastic from 2018 film Mary Poppins Returns.
"Mary Poppins would be proud," she commented.
"I'm going on holiday next week with my family, just to get away for a few days," he said after his Strictly win.
"I've felt a little bit guilty being away from them, so I definitely want to take them away, my children, just to see them and hold them."
