It comes only a few days after Greg was forced to defend a major change in Channel 4’s new TaskMaster spin-off after he ‘disappeared’ from screens.
His fans took to the comments to admit they were sorry to see him leave the platform, but added they understood the decision and wished him the best.
The host is absent from the new series, Junior Taskmaster, as he hands over the reigns to Rose Matafeo with Mike Wozniak as her assistant.
It sees 25 kids aged between 9 and 11 years-old go head-to-head as they attempt to win the golden head.
However, Greg and the show’s creator Alex Horne decided not to take part in the spin-off because he thought he would ‘scare’ the children.
In an interview with Radio Times last week, he explained: ‘I probably would be far too scary for children and I wouldn’t be able to moderate myself.’
Greg added: ‘I think Rose and Mike are a great choice and I think that’ll be a great combination.
‘I think the show will be its own show [and] I’m looking forward to watching it, but they don’t need my advice.’
Rose and Mike made their host and assistant debuts on Friday, with the premiere of the first episode of Junior Taskmaster.
