The Emmerdale star posted a photo of his dad with tears streaming down his face on his Instagram page, after giving him the £160,000 silver Bentley Continental GT.
He revealed that his dad could not believe the car was his, and even asked “how long” he would be keeping it for.
Warren looked smart in the snap, wearing a beige shirt with blue jeans and a brown belt.
He was comforted by his wife as he became overcome with emotion at the incredibly kind gesture from Kelvin.
