Grey's Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey has admitted he's happy about being labelled Dr McDreamy.

The actor was given the moniker after winning fans' hearts with his portrayal of Dr Derek Shepherd on the hit medical drama, and said he thinks "it's great".

He said: "It's one of those things that came out accidentally and then just became this whole big thing, and it's kind of fun to be on this side of one of those happening names."

He went on: "You know, I'll always be connected to the name, so it's fine with me. There's nothing I can do about that now. I just have to accept it and hopefully in the future I can do other things, but it is what it is."

Patrick said fans of the Emmy-winning show call him McDreamy when they spot him in the street.

"It's funny!" he laughed.

:: Grey's Anatomy Season 4 is released on ABC Studios DVD on Monday November 23.
