“Bangor is where I grew up, but it’s also my home still.
"All my stuff’s there and I would be there right now if things were different.
"I’m going to wait until everything calms down [to go home]. But I do miss home badly. I really do," he told the Irish Mirror.
Bangor is a city by the seaside located not far from Belfast.
It is a pretty part of the UK with lots of outdoor spaces to explore.
"Bangor is a great base to explore the Ards Peninsula, home to many picturesque towns and villages, as well as Strangford Lough – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty," Ireland.com stated.
"On 900 acres of the lough’s eastern shore sits the glorious 18th century Mount Stewart House and Gardens.
"Bedecked in plush fabrics and sporting a 15,000-strong collection of paintings, the mansion is a treat to explore.
"Those with a love for horticulture will adore the lush gardens, carefully planned and planted by Lady Londonderry over 100 years ago."
