ARTHUR Gourounlian shared his "heartwarming experience" bringing his nephew to his "first ever concert". The Dancing With The Stars judge decided to treat his nephew Rian to tickets to see pop star Melanie Martinez in the 3Arena for his birthday. Arthur shared snippets from their exciting day out on his Instagram story - and it looks like they had a blast.

Before the pair headed off to the gig, the 44-year-old recorded a clip saying: "Guys I have the birthday boy with me, this is Rian's first ever concert and we are beyond looking forward to go and see this show." He then asked the young lad if he was excited, to which he immediately beamed: "Yes!" Once they got inside the venue, the dad-of-two snapped a picture of their matching luminous friendship bracelets. The TV star then revealed that they had waited over an hour in a queue to buy merchandise and joked: "The things you do for family .



" As they finally got to the top of the line, Arthur laughed: "I'm howling, Mamma Mia we made it, we started the queue at 6.15, it's now 7.25.

" The celebrity dancer filmed a variety of videos of his nephew adorably singing along to every word throughout the concert. After the show, Arthur couldn't help but obsess over the fantastic gig and the memories he made. He wrote: "I've been to so many shows in my life but this has been a beautiful and heartwarming experience.

"It's incredible how those first time moments, especially seeing a favourite artists live, can spark so much joy. "Watching some you care about be fully immersed and happy in a moment really puts into perspective the power of music and experiences we often take for granted." The Armenian star gushed that he was "beyond honoured" to be able to share the "special memory" with Rian and emphasised how much the show meant to the little one.

Arthur made sure to highlight how "outstanding" Melanie Martinez was as a performer and said: "I think she just gained a new fan." Arthur's mum Maria, who lives in France has recently been staying with him. Ever since Arthur and his hubby Brian Dowling welcomed their second daughter, Blu, Maria has been helping them to look after the small one.

Earlier this week, Arthur cried "you are such a copycat" after he discovered his mum was wearing the same outfit as him. The dancer wore a bright orange crew neck over his pyjamas that brandished the phrase, J'Adore. Arthur told his fans: "So you know how you get dressed, you come down, you feel good and you feel like something going on?" The RTE star panned his camera to reveal his mum, Maria, standing beside him.

Maria donned the exact same crew neck over her pyjama's as she greeted her son in the kitchen. She wore a cheeky grin on her face as her son told fans: "Somebody's coming down [the stairs] dressed as you." The dad-of-two was unable to control his laughter as he called out his mum.

He added: "You are such a copycat, look at my copy. We are the twins." Maria then spoke to her son in Armenian, Arthur translated her comment: "She said, 'It's so warm'.
