Speaking after his win, Greg said he never even considered this a possibility.
"I never thought this was going to happen - at any stage did I think this was going to happen.
"I wasn't even in the villa two weeks ago, I wasn't here two weeks ago.
"Obviously the public saw us kick it off and it just went from there.
"I'd just like to say thanks to everyone - Go raibh míle maith agat to all the Irish fans, English fans, everyone - thanks a million.
"I can't appreciate you enough".
The Irish embassy in London said: "We're all about British-Irish relations so congratulations Greg & Amber!".
