Birthday boy Kelvin Fletcher had two reasons to celebrate on the first night of the Strictly Come Dancing Live tour.
Not only was the former Emmerdale actor turning 36, Strictly's reigning champion had kicked off the 2020 tour with a brand new partner and won.
Kelvin, who won the BBC One dancing contest at the end of last year with professional dancer Oti Mabuse, is paired with Janette Manrara on the tour, and they went down a storm with their audience in Birmingham.
"We only went out and won it," said Janette in a video posted on Instagram as the dance partners walked backstage in their dressing gowns.
"What a debut for us," said Kelvin.
"New partnership and we managed to go away with a Glitterball."
Kelvin and his co-stars celebrated after the show at a table laden with drinks, and they were in great spirits in a video captured by Janette's dancer husband Aljaz Skorjanec.
Kelvin's castmates, including AJ Pritchard and his celeb partner Saffron Barker, sang Happy Birthday to the Oldham actor and he and Janette clinked their shot glasses in a toast before knocking it back.
Over on AJ's Instagram he shared a photo from the celebrations of an espresso martini.
Janette is standing in for Oti on the tour, which comes to the Manchester Arena for two nights on Saturday January 25, due to her commitments as a dance captain on The Greatest Dancer.
In December Kelvin was crowned the Strictly Come Dancing winner after being drafted in at the last minute when Made In Chelsea star Jamie Laing was forced to pull out because of injury.
