You can be certain that a few hoteliers will think back with alarm about the celebrity secrets they've spilled in this series. It's entirely down to the charm of our host, who is so outrageous and wildly funny that they clearly can't help but spill the beans. Grant finishes up in the French Riviera, the highlight of which is the Hotel Byblos where Bianca and Mick Jagger tied the knot.
