But he has yet to reveal how the injury happened.
And Greg's fiance Susie Verrill has attempted to squash speculation.
She told fans: "It really isn’t anything gory or horrifying; just very painful and a bit of a freak accident.
"He hasn’t gone in to it because specialists have been working out how to pinpoint it/work out next steps so I think the show were keen not to say anything until they have official report back."
