Over the weekend, Morning Live host Gethin stepped out to celebrate Dragons' Den favourite Sara Davies’ birthday bash dubbed Sara's FortyFest. 

Katya Jones, John Whaite, Dan Walker, Fred Siriex, Janette Manrara, and Aljaž Škorjanec enjoyed the extravagant fun alongside the 46-year-old.

The funfair festival-type celebrations included a glitter bar, a fun zone, a main event area with bar and dancing, a photo booth, sweet and dessert bars, and a section where people could cosy up to by an open fire. 

While the atmosphere looked unbelievably magical, Gethin took to his Instagram and hinted that he might have some regrets after attending the birthday party.

Ahead of his Morning Live gig on Monday, April 29, Gethin posted a picture of his forearm inked with the words "S.D. 40." on his Instagram Story.

The BBC star penned on the image: "Seemed like a good idea at the time...".

Sara reposted the same snap  on her own Story and wrote: "When someone loves you enough to tattoo you on their arm... (watch the following story for some context...)

The following clip on the 40-year-old's Story was of Gethin at the bar with Strictly star Katya as he showed Sara his arm.

The Strictly dancer also admitted to getting the Dragons' Dens stars initials inked but admitted she could not show it as it was somewhere inappropriate.

In the clip, Sara is heard proudly saying: "Look what my real friends do, I mean..."

Gethin also shared a hilarious video of him wearing a crazy tiger shirt and enormous flower sunglasses from the event while he enjoyed a bumper car ride with Sara, who had blue glitter on her face.

The TV personality captioned the post: "I’ll post some nice pics later. But this sums up @saradaviescc 40th bday. I flippin love her. (Terrible driver)."

Fans of the star took to the comments sections and sent their well wishes as one user wrote: "Looks like the best fun ever!!"

Another added: "Sara is wonderful."

A third followed it with: " Did Sara try putting her lippy on whilst riding the dodgems?."

Sara revealed that her birthday bash was planned by Chantelle Walsh, the winner of the Ultimate Wedding Planner show, which she judged last year. 

Speaking on the event the fierce Dragon said: "I wanted a festival - and my word did they deliver! I have ridiculously high standards (for everything in my life) but they blew away even my every expectation!

"It was an incredibly special evening for me - I am a firm believer in the notion that you are a product of the people you surround yourself with - and so I wanted to get all those special people in my life together in one room to celebrate what we’ve collectively achieved for me through my third decade, and I wanted everyone to go home and say it was the best party they’d ever been to! (And they did!)"
