Following in Kevin’s footsteps, Grealish turned up to see the Park Plaza Hotel, where the main character stayed after boarding the wrong flight.
Posting a picture from the hotel, Grealish said: “If you know me, you know how much I love Christmas and Sol at home.

Uploading a photo of the Terrace, Grealish declared: “Man like Kevin running away in the park.”
