Joe Wicks shares sweet thank you note from child who says she admires him amid coronavirus chaos
Joe Wicks has shared an adorable message he received from a little girl who said she admires him for his touching work in light of the coronavirus outbreak.
The fitness expert, who also goes by the Body Coach, has been hosting daily workouts for both children and adults on his Instagram page since the government closed the country’s schools and gyms in order to try and slow spread of the virus.
And the social media star has seen a massive response for his online workout sessions, with over 800,000 households tuning in just on the first day of his online videos.
Joe even revealed that his classes have become so successful that he has been forced to turn down TV offers so that he can keep his workouts on YouTube and open to everyone.
“I have decided I want to stay on YouTube because I want it to have a global reach,” he told BBC Radio 2.
“I don’t want to be exclusive to one place. I have been blown away by the response”.
