Earlier this week, he spoke to the Mail’s Jane Fryer, who trialled out his PE classes online with her children.

He said: ‘I bothered Channel 4 for two years about doing a show and they kept saying, “We can’t do it, Joe. We haven’t got the budget “.

‘This week both Channel 4 and the BBC have been on the phone, asking,” What can we do together? “

Joe elaborated to Jane, however: ‘It’s about providing free content. It’s about helping. It’s about getting kids moving and feeling good and keeping your mental health up.
