ROMANCE: Gregg went out with Tiggy, who was an art student who he met when the Watch were called to a flooded Art Exhibition. Gregg went out with Tiggy a couple of times and the press photographed them. Gregg didn't have a clue why it was happened, until he read the paper the next morning - Tiggy's father was an MP!
TOUGH TIMES: Gregg burned down Upham Fire Station, while the pump crew were on standby!
It was a hot day and the fan in the Watch Room was not working. A circuit breaker had been removed in the electrics, so Gregg put it back in. Then, when Upham's crew returned, they found their station ablaze!
Gregg was worried that he had started the fire and he confided in George, who told him to keep quiet. Gregg eventually owned up, after Nick began to challenge the crew about it.
Gregg left the Watch at the end of Series 10, after falling at a shout at a bus depot. Gregg ends up in hospital, where Tiggy gives him an ultimatum. It's either the job or her.
