Greg's relationship status
Greg tends to keep his personal life private. And while he is not married, we do know that he previously dated Labour Party politician Liz Kendall, who is the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions.

We are not together any more but we remain really good friends."
Greg is currently believed to be single and the comedian previously joked that he had "given up" on romance during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show. During the chat, he revealed that his grandad had unwittingly walked on him and a girlfriend during a risqué moment. He joked: "It's not for me, romance... that was the day I gave up on romance."

Speaking alongside his co-host Alex Horne, and comedian Tom Allen, Tom said Greg could meet his wife at the awards event, to which Greg responded with: "Maybe I will, I'm open to it. It would be so lovely, it's been too long and I'm ready now." Alex added: "Lonely," which prompted Greg to joke: "Oh god, the horrible hot lonely tears."
He also revealed to The Times that an ex-girlfriend convinced him to switch from a teacher to a career in comedy, explaining: "I've been doing comedy for about 15 years now. I always wanted to do it, I just never had thick enough skin. A girlfriend I had while teaching was a pragmatist and always told me that if you want to do something then go for it. So eventually I made the switch. Comedy is definitely where I'm happiest."
