Rob Beckett has abandoned his family holiday in Greece to fly to Germany for the hotly-anticipated Euro 2024 final between England and Spain on Sunday.
England go into the game as underdogs, with Spain winning all six of their matches so far, with the Three Lions playing out four draws in 90 minutes.
Comedian Rob, 38, revealed on Instagram that he was at the airport in Greece waiting to board his fight to Berlin for the match.
He explained: 'I'm in Greece and flying to Berlin, then I'm flying back to Greece because I'm on a family holiday. I've just left my wife and children.'
His wife Louise Watts also shared a video of Rob wearing an England football top and asked where he was going, to which he replied: 'I'm going to the football, but I've got to be quiet because the kids are asleep. See you tomorrow!'

Rob has been married to his wife Louise since 2015 and they have two daughters together, who are eight and six.
Louise later shared an image of her daughters, penning 'girls day', while Rob shared a snap of his easyJet flight.
It comes as Gareth delivered an emotional message to his England heroes ahead of their date with destiny: 'Go and fulfil your dreams.'.
The national team face Spain in the final of Euro 2024 on Sunday night following a tumultuous tournament, and Southgate said: 'I don't believe in fairytales but I am a believer in dreams and we have big dreams but you have to make those things happen .
'The run we have had, late goals, penalties but that doesn't equate to us making it happen. We have to perform.
'When you try to create dreams you need a vision to go with that. That lights a small fire. We know what it would mean (to win).'
The England men's side haven't won a major trophy since World Cup 1966, and Southgate added: 'We have to get this trophy to get the respect of the rest of the football world.
'I travelled to World Cups and European Championships watching as an observer (before becoming England manager) and on the highlights on the big screens before games we weren't in them. They only showed the finals and the big games.

'We had high expectations but they didn't match where we were performance-wise. We have now.
'Tomorrow, I don't have any fear of what might happen because I've been through everything. I want my players to feel that fearlessness... If we're not afraid to lose, it gives us a better chance of winning.'
The Three are competing in their second consecutive final in the European Championship after heartbreak against Italy at Wembley in 2021.
The team lost on penalties on home turf, and that night has lived long in the memory of those involved.
'I think it shows unbelievable consistency, first and foremost,' captain Harry Kane said on Saturday night. 'A lot of us after that final, we were obviously heartbroken with the result, as always a long journey back to getting where we are now.
'Full credit to the boys for the resilience that we've shown. It speaks volumes for the mentality of the squad, extremely happy to be in this situation and to be back in a European final. Of course we are really desperate to go one step further than we did last time.'
The messages of support come as Gareth delivered an emotional message to his England heroes ahead of their date with destiny: 'Go and fulfil your dreams.'.

England go into the game as underdogs, with Spain winning all six of their matches so far, with the Three Lions playing out four draws in 90 minutes.
That hasn't bothered Southgate, however, who is happy that his planning has so far paid off.
He added: 'We haven't had too much time on the training pitch but we've had several meetings trying to assess the opponent, work out the best way to play against them.
'But our messages haven't really changed throughout the six or seven weeks we've been together - we've had a long-term vision and we've always broken that down into smaller pieces.'
