Guimaraes and his loved ones – including his newborn son – also sat on the sofa as they waited for the Toon star’s name to be read out.

Guimaraes’ celebration, however, was somewhat mooted as he was holding his little bundle of joy.
Newcastle fans were quick to comment, with one saying: “Well deserved Bruno.”
Another said: “Haway, Bruno.”
And another said: “Well deserved, Bruno.”
