Joe Wicks felt "really emotional" as he hosted his final ‘PE With Joe’ class today (22.07.20).
The 33-year-old fitness coach’s online PE sessions were watched by millions during the coronavirus lockdown and helped raise more than £580,000 for the NHS, but the classes came to an end on Wednesday, and Joe was joined by his model wife Rosie Jones and their children Indie and Marley for the last instalment.
As they danced and jumped around to song ‘From Now On’, from ‘The Greatest Showman’ movie, Joe and Rosie let off numerous party poppers, and The Body Coach admitted he will be back with more online classes at some point.
He said: "That is the end of ‘PE With Joe’.
"Thank you so much for taking part. Thank you to everyone that’s taken part.
"I’ve loved it so much and I will miss you all. I will be back.
"I’m going to have a little break and I will be doing more live workouts throughout the year.
"I’m really emotional. Rosie is crying."
Joe revealed he had 80 million views across 78 ‘PE With Joe’ workouts.
At the beginning of the class, he said: "Welcome to the final, live ‘PE with Joe’. We’re having a party.
"I want to start off by saying a massive thank you to every parent, child, school teacher, teaching assistants, NHS staff, families, pets, all the TV channels and radio stations that help me promote ‘PE with Joe’.
"And thanks to my wonderful wife Rosie."
Joe recently confirmed he is launching his own BBC Sounds podcast, which will see him speak to inspirational celebrity guests about their health and wellbeing.
He said: "Having my very own podcast where I can speak to the people I have always been interested in has always been a dream of mine.
"I can’t wait for listeners to learn about my guest’s secrets to personal wellbeing with some laughs and interesting life chats along the way."
