His amazing day continued with a takeaway meal from popular Essex restaurant Sheesh.

Olly dressed up as a Lego man for the call and held aloft his Lego brick cake while everyone sang Happy Birthday to him.
Surprise in store: Amelia made Olly put on a blindfold for their latest TikTok video while sitting on a stool
Here we go: She tasked him with popping balloons which she held either side of him
Uh-oh! She then asked him to try and pop a balloon which she had placed above his head – but she had switched it for a water balloon
Water works: Olly got completely drenched, as did Amelia, when the water balloon popped
It comes after Olly and Amelia worked together in their latest TikTok video, on Thursday.
Amelia tasked Olly with popping two balloons either side of himself while he was blindfolded.
He then had to pop one which was placed above his head but Amelia had switched it out for a water balloon so they both got drenched.
There was another TikTok video which they shared to the social media platform on Wednesday.

The former X Factor star carried his bodybuilder partner on his shoulders as she wore a pink ball gown that covered his face and torso.
As a result it made it seem like Olly’s legs were Amelia’s as they came around a corner and performed to RuPaul’s Drag Race star Naomi Smalls’ song Legs.
The pair walked down their makeshift catwalk, with Olly pausing every so often to strike a pose with his legs while Amelia lipsynced to the words.
Amused by the video, Olly joked in the caption: ‘Vogue hit us up!! We ready.’

Last week, the singer was forced to apologise for his now infamous Pringles can video.
He took to Twitter to pen an apology and wrote: ‘So I’ve had a few days to think about this, and wanted to apologise to anyone who has been offended by my social videos.
‘My intention was only to make people smile and laugh during these trying times. Am wishing you all a great bank holiday remember to #bekind #stayathome’.
Speaking out: Last week, Olly was forced to apologise for a prank he played on his girlfriend Amelia in a TikTok video after significant backlash
During the TikTok, when his body-builder girlfriend reached into the tube the video paused and Olly said: ‘Say hello to my little friend.’
The empty tube was placed in a very suggestive position and Amelia was less than impressed when she reached in.
The Voice judge shared the video to his Instagram with the caption: ‘Pringles now do a variety pack.’
Video: The singer has been entertaining his fans with humorous videos amid the lockdown but some thought his video that saw him hold a Pringles packet in a suggestive place went too far
Olly quickly trended on Twitter after the prank was uploaded to social media with some viewers less than impressed.
One said: ‘Olly Murs has ruined my day’, while another added: ‘Me after watching that Olly Murs video’ with a clip of a child looking disgusted.
Another video saw the star acting out with Amelia in a comedy scene that uses violent language from the 2008 film Step Brothers.
Olly is seen uttering at his girlfriend during one of the film’s famous lines: ‘I want to punch you square in the face’.
Amelia, pictured in bed with Olly, responds with more lines from the Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly film, saying: ‘Hope you stay still when you’re asleep, because I’m putting a rat-trap between your legs’.
Leading UK domestic violence campaigner Rachel Williams, who almost lost her life after being shot by her former partner Darren Williams and saw her teenage son take his own life due to the trauma of her attack in 2011, said the video featuring the couple using violent language ‘weren’t funny’.
Williams tweeted: ‘Not the best message to put out by @ollymurs knowing the epidemic domestic abuse is. Sadly I and others don’t find it funny.’
Reaction: Some social media users were less than impressed with Olly’s video
She told Femail: ‘The Tik Tok video may have been made tongue in cheek, based on Step Brothers, but not all those followers will associate it with that, especially his younger audience.
‘The message Olly and his girlfriend is sharing is violence is okay…It is not! Domestic abuse and violence is an epidemic as we know. He is in a position of influence which comes with it a responsibility.
‘Maybe he will reflect on his video and message. A really bad judgement on his part which could have a damaging effect on his younger audience who could be living in a toxic home, where this is their everyday living.’
Others said the star should be more aware of his huge under 18 fan base. TikTok can be accessed by children aged 13 plus.
