Andy, 29, had promised to enjoy his second Wimbledon title more than his first — and did so by partying until dawn with wife Kim, 28.

After the Champions Dinner at the Guildhall they hit the dancefloor at Drama. They downed what looked like orange shots with friends at 1am as a crowd chanted “Andy! Andy! Andy!”

One onlooker said: “Andy was in a great mood — he was definitely living up to his promise to truly enjoy his win this time around.”

Andy, who had earlier fuelled up for the night at a drive-thru McDonald’s, looked bleary-eyed as he left the bash with Kim at 3.30am.

At a 10.30am press conference yesterday he admitted: “I had a rough night last night. Good celebrations!”

While the Murrays headed home on the party night, Heather, 24, continued with her Finnish mixed doubles partner Henri Kontinen at A-list club Tape. Heather also managed to drop in on Serena Williams’ Cafe Royal bash between the official ball and her own party with Andy.

A source said: “Heather stole the limelight. She then went to Drama with Andy where they downed Ciroc cocktails. They each put £25,000 behind the bar. She partied at Tape until 5.30am. She really let her hair down.”
