Aljaz's early birthday surprise comes just days after he was almost reduced to tears during an emotional reunion with his family via a video link on Morning Live.

The 30-year-old was in utter shock when he saw his loved ones appear on the television screen behind host Gethin Jones.

The pro dancer, who had sent his family a message in Slovenian prior to the unveiling, was surprised to see both his parents and his sister Lara with her husband.

"It's a year since we last hugged or kissed and I can't wait to hug you again," his sister Lara told him, before adding: "We are missing you so much and love you and can't wait to hug you."

An emotional Aljaz replied with: "Awww," before he spoke directly to the camera in his native Slovenian.
