Ellie Goulding treated Dougie Poynter to a private museum tour for his 27th birthday.
The 'Burn' singer whisked her McBusted boyfriend off to London's Natural History Museum at midnight on Friday (28.11.14) for an intimate stroll around the exhibits.
Posting an image on Instagram of the couple in front of a dinosaur skeleton, Dougie wrote: "I got the Natural History Museum for my birthday! Thank you to me luuuuvly lady. (sic)"
Despite coming up with the idea, his singer/songwriter girlfriend - who turns 28 later this month - seemed to find the experience a bit more scary than she hoped, describing the evening as "eerie".
Writing on her own Instagram account, she said: "The Natural History Museum at midnight. Eerie when there's only two of you... (sic)"
The twilight trip was not the only part of the 'Air Guitar' singer's birthday treat, having already enjoyed a vegan cookie cake and a massage earlier in the evening.
Dougie officially celebrated his birthday on Sunday (30.11.14), and the star visited a zoo to mark the occasion, sharing images of penguins on his social networks.
However, his bandmate Matt Willis previously suggested a stripper may be the perfect gift for his pal.
The 31-year-old star said: "I've got a brilliant idea for Dougie's birthday. I'm not allowed to go to strip clubs, but that doesn't mean you can't have strippers somewhere else. A strip pub, maybe?"

Angelina Jolie has been involved in a "pretty bad" car crash.
The 39-year-old actress was being chauffeured in a black SUV on Sunday evening (30.11.14) when the driver lost control and the motor slid on a wet road and smashed into a kerb causing two of the tyres to burst.
An eyewitness told website X17 Online: "The car slammed into the kerb at a significant speed. Angelina must have wondered if they hit another car.
"It was pretty bad - the tyre exploded and it's amazing nothing worse happened to the car. I wouldn't be surprised if she has whiplash."
The incident occurred as Angelina was being driven in Los Angeles following a screening of her movie 'Unbroken' at the Writers' Guild Theater in Beverly Hills, but she is thought to have escaped serious injury as she was later seen being picked up by a driver from the same car service.
Angelina - who has children Maddox, 13, Pax, 10, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, eight, and six-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne with husband Brad Pitt - is not the only star to have been involved in a car crash over the weekend as David Beckham also suffered a similar fate.
The former footballer and his eldest son Brooklyn were said to have had a lucky escape after a woman smashed into their motor after David picked the 15 year old up from football training at Arsenal's training ground in north London.

David Beckham is "lucky to be alive" after being involved in a car crash.
The retired soccer star was collecting his eldest son Brooklyn, 15, from Arsenal's training ground in London on Saturday (29.11.14) when a woman crashed her Mitsubishi into his Audi, and the pair of them are said to have had a lucky escape.
A witness revealed: "Beckham and Brooklyn are lucky to be alive. Beckham took the hit on the driver's side - it could have been a completely different story."
The 39-year-old hunk - who also has sons Romeo, 12, and Cruz, nine, and three-year-old daughter Harper with fashion designer wife Victoria Beckham, 40 - was "massively apologetic" following the collision and is said to have given the female driver his jumper as she and her daughter waited for help.
David - who is reported to have hurt his shoulder in the accident - rushed to comfort the pair, who were later taken to hospital, after checking that Brooklyn was okay.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Beckham was turning right and mustn't have seen the other car, or realised how fast it was travelling.
"She smacked into the side of him. It's a miracle no one was seriously hurt. Beckham was massively apologetic."
However, the former England captain recovered in time to escort wife Victoria to the Evening Standard Theatre Awards last night (30.11.14).

Scarlett Johansson has reportedly got married in secret.
The 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' actress is said to have tied the knot with her French journalist fiancé Romain Dauriac in a secret ceremony following the birth of their daughter Rose in September.
A source told the New York Post newspaper's PageSix: "Scarlett and Romain were married in a very intimate ceremony after the birth of their daughter. They kept the wedding a big secret because they both wanted privacy."
The couple sparked rumours they had married last month when the 30-year-old beauty - who was previously wed to actor Ryan Reynolds - was spotted wearing a gold ring on her wedding finger.
Although Scarlett and Romain are yet to confirm whether they are now man and wife, it's reported they decided against holding the ceremony in his native Paris and instead married at a secret location in the United States.
Scarlett - who began dating Romain in 2012 and got engaged in 2013 - previously revealed she didn't want to "rush" into tying the knot as she wanted to "enjoy and really savour" her engagement.
However, the 'Lucy' star was reportedly overheard telling a pal at a Hamptons dinner party in June that she and her fiancé would be married "very soon".

Thandie Newton was told her hair was too "ghetto" for her school photograph.
The 'Mission: Impossible II' star inherited afro-curly hair from her Nigerian mother and she's recalled how the nuns who ran her school in Cornwall singled her out for looking different.
She said: "My mum braided my hair - for her it was the neatest, prettiest style, the equivalent of having your hair freshly cut and styled.
"I went to the best school in town, which was run by nuns, and they wouldn't let me have my photo taken because of my hair.
"I think they thought it was a bit 'ghetto', though we didn't really know what that meant. It was absolutely not 'ghetto'. The next day my mum went into the school. I don't know what was said, but I had my photo taken."
Although the 42-year-old beauty has now grown to love her natural curls, she admits she began chemically straightening it as soon as she was old enough and continued to do so for many years because people preferred it.
Thandie explained to The Sunday Telegraph newspaper: "There were layers and layers of low self-esteem attached to these early experiences, and I continued to have very low self-esteem for years.
"So as soon as I could I had my hair professionally 'relaxed' with chemicals to make it 'normal', and it stayed straight until only a few years ago. It was how Hollywood wanted my hair too."

Angelina Jolie knows Brad Pitt "intimately and emotionally".
The 39-year-old star is currently promoting the release of 'Unknown' - the second film she's directed - and she's confessed the message within it is dedicated to her love for her husband and their sons.
Speaking about how making an epic war film is unusual for a woman, she said: "I don't feel it's a woman's touch as much as it's how a woman loves and respects men.
"And I look at this, and I see my son, and Brad, and it's me paying respect to the men I love, showing them I know them intimately and I know them emotionally.
"And they're not just cool to me when they're being tough. They're cool when they're able to be vulnerable to."
The 'Salt' actress also admitted she wants her children - Shiloh, Vivienne, Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Knox - to watch the film and learn from it.
Referring to the story of American Olympic runner Louis Zamperini, who was beaten by Japanese guards for over two years as a soldier and prisoner during the Second World War, Angelina told The Sunday Times newspaper: "I wanted to show them something that's hard to watch in places, but in the end - without beating you over the head - you do, I hope, feel a bit more like, 'Well, maybe I can step up and be a better person, too'."

The homeless boxer Mickey Rourke fought in Moscow, Russia allowed the actor to win.
The Oscar nominee and former fighter made a widely publicised appearance in the boxing ring on Friday (28.11.14), but the credibility of his win over Elliot Seymour, 29, has now been called into question.
A source close to the Seymour family explained: "It was clearly a fixed fight. The whole bouncing off the ropes, hands down, punches were not landing and they were intentionally hitting each other's gloves."
The insider said that fans of the 62-year-old former boxer have been mislead about his supposed success.
The source told the Daily Mail newspaper: "All these headlines Mickey Rourke beat someone half his age... yeah he did but you're not telling them the real story.
"The real story is he's homeless and desperate and he will probably go back to living on the streets when he gets back. People have no clue about that.
"Mickey Rourke has made his living as an actor, and if you expected his sanctioned boxing match today in Moscow against a 29-year-old to be totally legitimate then you've been watching too many movies."
The high-profile fight was ended when Mickey knocked out his opponent.
