English rugby player Thomas Burgess commented on the post, saying: “One of a kind! Gone but never forgotten xxx.”

Kelvin’s soap star pals Adam Thomas and Danny Miller, meanwhile, showed their support by posting a string of red heart emojis.

Fans have also commented, with one writing: “Wishing your friend a happy heavenly birthday thinking of you. Great photo by the way xx.”

Kelvin, who recently starred in Death In Paradise, isn’t afraid to show his softer side to fans.

In February, he left his father in tears after buying him a Bentley.

The actor splashed out on the £160,000 car for his dad’s 60th birthday and he was speechless when he handed it over.

Sharing a picture of the moment his dad clapped eyes on his new wheels, Kelvin wrote: “They say a picture says a thousand words. Happy 60th Dad.

“My hero, my friend and my Dad. You’re the kindest soul I know and you’ll put anyone before yourself.

“We know how much you’ve always dreamed of this car so to see your face yesterday made my heart burst with pride and happiness. You deserve it and we are so lucky to have you.”

Weeks later, Kelvin was spotted taking his £180,000 Lamborghini Huracan to his local branch of Waitrose to do his weekly shop.
