Speaking to the Mirror and other press, he said: "Day one, it had to be bloody day one. We did the masterclass. We're all hanging out together, having a really good time and doing all these little skills and pushing each other around, just having a good time. We started to get probably a little bit overly excitable. Well I did, in particular, and decided that to try and win a race rather than skate, I'd just sprint on my on my toe picks."

It was such a heavy impact and I think it's going to be shown on the first show how big a hit it was and I had this massive egg form on my hip."
Greg went on to say it was a "massive eye opener" for him and thought his Dancing On Ice stint was over before it has even begun. Sunday will see Greg, former boxer Ricky Hatton, S Club 7 star Hannah Spearritt, Love Island's Amber Davies, Emmerdale's Roxy Shahidi, Made In Chelsea star Miles Nazaire and former EastEnders actor Ricky Norwood take to the ice. They will also be joined by comedian Lou Sanders, Radio DJ Adele Roberts, soap icon Claire Sweeney and Emmerdale's Roxy Shahidi.
