Brian McFadden could be happy to receive a gift hamper as it has been revealed he celebrated a landmark birthday with a special surprise.

The former Westlife singer - who has just turned 30 - was presented with a chocolate cake that had a picture of him from his younger days on the front, the Daily Mail reports.

McFadden was given the gift during a B-themed fancy dress party in Sydney, Australia, where he now lives with former Neighbours actress Delta Goodrem.

He dressed as 1950's rock 'n' roll star Buddy Holly, while his fiancee appeared in a Barbie Band Leader ensemble.

Other outfits adorned by guests at the bash included Bob the Builder, David Bowie, Boy George and Batman.

It was recently reported that singer Lady Gaga had been presented with a birthday cake from her backing dancers while performing on stage at a concert in Australia as part of her 24th birthday celebrations.
