He said: "I have a slightly sore calf from hopping, so I've got tape on it."
Of Karen, he said: "She's done this to me. I used to be young and lovely, and not a complete sweaty mess. And look at this one, look, she's so fresh and she has such nice teeth."
At the weekend, the actor told the Strictly judges that he learned his only dance move during his time at university in Edinburgh.
Greg came up to Heriot Watt University from Newcastle to study architecture in his youth and has previously spoken of his fond memories of Edinburgh, even at its coldest.
He said: “We didn’t have much money for heating, so I wore two pairs of jeans and three shirts to keep warm.”
As a student, he trod the boards with Bedlam Theatre and teamed up with Braveheart actor Angus Macfadyen and Monarch of the Glen star Hamish Clark as a comedy troupe called The Thunderbunnies.
These experiences brought out the actor in him and, after qualifying, he switched studies – and cities – to study drama at Glasgow’s Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama.
