It comes after Greg recently shared his painful looking scar and the ‘insane swelling’ after his abdominal surgery.

Sharing several candid snaps, he wrote: ‘A little stomach update… I’m almost 4 weeks post op now and feeling so much better.

‘I can move around with almost no feeling of pain and the wound has now closed and healed. Pic 2 shows the insane swelling I initially had.

‘I can’t tense my abs properly still, but that’s coming. I also managed to put a ton of weight on since the op, so as soon as I’m ready I’ll be training to get myself trim again… maybe even back on skates.’

Greg only revealed what his ‘horrible’ Dancing On Ice injury was as he headed into hospital to have surgery.

The athlete said ‘effectively gave myself a C-section’ when he tried to skate through the legs of professional Colin Grafton in rehearsals.

He told fans: ‘Today is surgery day. Loads of people have been asking “what happened?”

‘I’ve been a bit busy and obviously just recovering from the initial injury before I had the surgery that I hadn’t got round to talking about it.

‘Long story short, I leapt through the legs of Colin and managed to tear all of my abs as well as herniate. So I effectively gave myself a C-section.

‘So yes, it was horribly painful. It needs to be operated on today and then I’ll be properly on the mend. It was very painful, pretty horrible.’

Ryan skated to victory and was crowned Dancing On Ice’s 2024 winner alongside pro partner Amani Fancy during the live final .

Greg, meanwhile, shared a video of himself and Vanessa James doing the bolero as he lamented that he missed the final and was a ‘bit heartbroken’.

He wrote: ‘Something that I really wish I could have performed… #Bolero I’m almost 36 hours since the injury and watching the videos of what could have been. It’s bloody hard to take at this point as I know we could have shown something exciting and new with our final performances.

‘Of course the Bolero isn’t a given and I’ll post our showcase at some point too… I haven’t shown the end as I’m determined to actually perform it with Vanessa one day for everyone to see.

‘I’m really proud of what we achieved on the show. This take was from Saturday morning and we were marking for the double twist… the full program was truly beautiful. I’m a bit heart broken at the moment.
