The structure uses the rhyming pair "Gregory Peck" (the actor's name) to stand for "neck," following the typical Cockney pattern of replacing a word with a phrase that rhymes with it. It is used in Cockney rhyming slang (London, UK) to mean the part of the body connecting the head to the shoulders, often shortened to just "Gregory." People typically say "He's got a sore Gregory" or "I hurt my Gregory lifting that box." The term originated in mid 20th century London rhyming slang, drawing on the famous Hollywood actor, and remains a recognizable example.
