Jack Grealish delights fans as he enjoys Home Alone tour on romantic New York City trip

Jack Grealish was thrilled to take a trip around New York to tap into his favourite holiday movie — Home Alone 2.

The England star, 27, soaked up some of the film's legendary landmarks as he followed in the footsteps of lead character Kevin when he toured the city at Christmas.

Grealish, who is enjoying some down time after England's heartbreaking World Cup exit, shared a pic at 'Kevin's hotel' on 5th Avenue and also checked out the spot of a scene in Central Park as he enjoyed a romantic city break with his girlfriend Sasha Attwood.

Sharing his journey with fans on Instagram he explained: "If you know me, you know how much I love Christmas and Home Alone.

"So, I'm absolutely buzzing I could come to New York at Christmas time and basically just see everywhere Kevin went. The Plaza Kevin's hotel."

Grealish later returned to the platform to share another Instagram story as he headed to Central Park.

The Manchester United star captioned the photo: "Little tour around Central Park. Harry & Marv ice rink."

The footy star also visited the Wollman Rink and Lasker Rink.

The second Home Alone movie sees Kevin accidentally boarding a flight to New York as the rest of his family head to Miami.

But, along the way, he is spotted by his old enemies and hears of a plot to rob a toy store — something young Kevin takes upon himself to foil.

And Grealish's followers were equally impressed that he had shared the trip with them as they gushed over the NY scenes.

One person tweeted: "Just when you thought he couldn’t get any sweeter, Jack Grealish goes to New York to retrace Kevin Mcallister’s footsteps. And takes us all with him."

In another snap Jack tucked into a tasty pizza slice standing on a sidewalk in front of Joe's Pizza.

He captioned the post: "Joe's PIZZA get in me bellehh".

Fans were quick to continue the banter as he was clearly not focussing on the World Cup drama.

One person posted: "Jack what's wrong with you. Messi just won the World Cup and ur here eating pizza."

Meanwhile, Jack's girlfriend Sasha Attwood also posted snaps of the trip on her own Instagram story.

One image showed off the iconic giant Christmas tree outside theRockefeller Centre while another clip showed Sasha tucking into a delicious chocolate cake.

Sasha, who is Jack's childhood sweetheart, also visited the exhibition dedicated to the memory of Virgil Abloh in Brooklyn.

She shared a photo of a wall which adorns a quote from Virgil, who was 41 when he died last year. It read: "No day shall erase you from the memory of time".
