Eswatini-born English actor Richard E Grant is spending 10 days at the four-star Holiday Inn at Gatwick in the UK after visiting his mother in Southern Africa when the Omicron variant was discovered in SA.

Richard E Grant was not smiling on Saturday after being forced to spend hundreds of pounds on very plain food at a Covid-19 quarantine facility when he returned from visiting his mother in Southern Africa.Imagine the feast one person could have if they spent more than R4,800 on three meals for a day.

His 204,000 followers were shown a picture of his unappetising meals as he bemoaned what he said was food that would be valued at about £20 a day.“I went to Southern Africa to visit my 90-year-old mother and got caught by the red region, Covid-19 restrictions,” he explained.

User Mattyboobalatty said: “For £228 per day I’d expect the finest wines available to humanity!” — a reference to one of his lines in the hilarious: “We want the finest wines available to humanity! We want them here and we want them now!”Lynn_power wrote: “I understand that these measures are enforced so that the possibility of the new strain of Covid-19 is restricted. I get that. No-one is exempt. But you are quite right.

On the image of Grant's food Sacha_church said: “Lots of people on this earth would just like clean water. I'd suck that up if I were you.”
