JACK GREALISH has taken to social media to share his “deep embarrassment” after crashing his car following a 4am party.
The Aston Villa ace allegedly smashed his £80,000 Range Rover into three parked cars near Solihull, West Midlands, just hours after encouraging his fans to remain indoors for the coronavirus lockdown.

Grealish was pictured looking dishevelled on the street at around 8am wearing a hoodie, shorts and one black slipper and a white slip-on sandal.
Taking to Twitter, he posted an apology while explaining his “stupid” actions.
He said: “Hi everybody I just want to do a quick video message to say how deeply embarrassed I am about what happened this weekend.
“I know it’s a tough time for everyone being locked indoors for so long.
“I obviously got a call from a friend asking to go round to his and I stupidly agreed to do so.
“I don’t want anyone making the same mistake as I did so I urge everyone to stay at home and follow the rules and guidelines of what we’ve been asked to do.
“I know for a fact that I’ll be doing that and I urge everyone to do the same
“I hope everyone accepts my apology and we can move on from this and hopefully in the near future, we can be out enjoying ourselves again.”
I hope everyone accepts my apology and we can move on from this.

The 4×4 was said to have reversed from a designated parking bay, across a road and gone into a parked silver van, leaving it with a dented bumper and smashed rear lights.
Witnesses said the Range Rover then drove 200 yards, veering on to the pavement and careering into vehicles including a £30,000 silver C-Class Mercedes, and a £20,000 blue Merc.
Grealish’s vehicle also collided with iron railings in front of an estate agency.
The Manchester United target was then believed to have walked off after speaking to a nearby resident before police arrived.
Villa also put out a statement that said they were “deeply disappointed” in his actions.
The club also revealed that Grealish will be disciplined and fined, with the proceeds of that fine going to The University Hospitals Chartiy in Birmingham.

A neighbour said: “The party had been going on all night. It was unbearable. The noise had only stopped a short while when, just after 8am, there were a series of almighty collisions which reverberated through the flats.
“Outside, Jack Grealish was stood next to his car rowing with a security guard. It was strange to see an England ace looking so unkempt and dishevelled. He looked unsteady and confused.
“There was an almighty row because Jack didn’t want to wait around but people wanted answers from him.”
Grealish was said to have been at the flat of ex-Scottish striker Ross McCormack, 33, who left Villa last year.
