Tom Ellis has been pictured joining famous pals for drinks at a fancy Birmingham bar. The Lucifer star was spotted at Resorts World's Sky Bar & Restaurant on Saturday September 29, after delighting fans at the Cross Roads 9 convention.

TV lovers flocked to the three day event at the Hilton Metropole Hotel next to the NEC, which celebrated both the hit Amazon Prime show and American TV series Supernatural. According to fans, the two shows “cross over” and hint at the other's existence in a series of “easter eggs”.

Actress Samantha Ferris took to Instagram to share snaps of Ellis with her Supernatural co-stars Richard Speight Jr, Rob Benedict and Tahmoh Penikett. “Last night of Cross Roads 9. Beers with the boys,” she said. “Thanks for having us Birmingham, it’s been a blast. Until the next one.”

The convention, organised by Starfury, featured guest talks, autograph sessions and parties. It will be held again at the same location in May 2025. Prices range from £130 for a regular ticket to £1,150 for a diamond pass including a meet and greet and other perks.

Other social media pictures showed Welsh star Ellis, 45, taking part in a Q&A session at the event. The Miranda actor, who is also an ambassador for Great Ormond Street Hospital, looked relaxed as he was snapped smiling and chatting with fans.

Sky Bar & Restaurant, found inside Resorts World, describes itself as the perfect spot for every occasion. Bosses say walks-ins are always welcome and comfortable booths are available for people to enjoy drinks from its "cocktail kitchen".
