He claimed he had been "kidnapped" and was in a mystery location after being "captured" by a celebrity at a Brit Awards after-party - but fear not it was all a publicity stunt.
A similar thing happened in 2019 when Greg was locked in an escape room for 31 hours.
He was kept there until fans managed to crack a code based on references to in-jokes used frequently on his show.
Greg also took time off over Christmas 2022.
