Rob Beckett makes his way to Berlin for Euros final
BAFTA host Rob Beckett has flown to Berlin for the Euro 2024 final whch sees England take on Spain despite being in the middle of a family holiday in Greece. The 39 year old comic was away with his wife Louise Watts and their two daughters but decided to take a quick soujourn to Berlin to witness Gareth Southgate's men in action.
He has been documenting his Euros adventure on his Instagram stories for his 1 million followers. He admitted he was travelling light with more or less just the clothes he was standing in and a pair of shorts and pants along with a few travel essentials.
"I'm in Greece and flying to Berlin, then I'm flying back to Greece becaus4e I'm on a family holiday. I've just left my wife and children," he admitted.
He shared his interaction wiht his cab driver confessing he laughed at him and simply said "final", which Rob answered in the affirmative. He also shared his anxiety about his phone battery and was waiting to get a power ban off a friend as all his tickets for travel and the game were on his device.
"Some of the journeys people are doing to get to this game are mental," he said. "I'm so scared about losing," he confided. "I think we're going to lose but I can't even comprehend losing."
Rob made it to Berlin without incident and posted clips drinking in the hotel bar with friends before getting a coach to the game.
For her part wife Louise didn't seem terribly upset that Rob had temporarily deserted them.
She took to her Instagram stories to share an image of their daughters running while carrying inflatables and captioned it "girl's day".
The family have been enjoying a sunshine break at an all inclusive Greek resort.

If England secure victory tonight it will be the first time in 58 years the men's team have won a major championship.
They head into the final as underdogs having underwhelmed for the majority of the tournament so far.
If the Three Lions land the spoils then they will take home approximately £22.95million (€27.24m). In contrast, Spain will earn more if they are able to cap off their sensational summer by winning in Berlin.
La Roja won all three of their group stage matches and are therefore in line to pocket the maximum amount of prize money if they can see off the challenge of England, with £23.8m (€28.25m) at stake for them.
