Greg set off on an epic eight-day 1000km charity cycling challenge, in honour of his father, after he convinced him to take part.
The breakfast show host took part in Radio 1’s Longest Ride for Comic Relief, cycling from Weymouth in Dorset to Edinburgh in Scotland on a tandem bicycle listeners have dubbed Tando Norris.
At the time, Greg said his father is ‘fighting hard’ and would be taking ‘small steps’ on the road back to recovery.
Previously talking about the challenge on his show, Greg said: ‘Here’s a video which is more serious than I like to be on here, but I just wanted to update you on what’s [been] going on the last few days of my life.
‘I’ve had a terrible time. My dad’s not very well. Not very well at all. And it’s horrible.
‘You might have heard Sam and Danni talk about this on the Breakfast Show on Friday, because I wasn’t there. They were very lovely about it; they told lots of you, and thank you for sending me a message if you did. It’s massively appreciated.’
