Man shares emotional TikTok after travelling 25 hours for Christmas surprise

A man from Merseyside has received thousands of likes on TikTok after sharing a video of his 25 hour journey home.

Ethan Leyland, a fashion student from St Helens, currently lives in New York where he is completing an internship. His family feared the 25-year-old would spend the festive season alone over 3,000 miles away.

Ethan had other ideas however, as the Central St Martins student embarked on a 25 hour journey from New York to St Helens to surprise his family on Christmas Eve. Posting the journey on TikTok, set to Chris Rea's Driving Home for Christmas, Ethan has gained over 220,000 views on the app.
