Over the last week, fitness coach Joe Wicks has become the PE teacher we didn't know we needed... Until self-isolation hit thanks to the Coronavirus pandemic.

In case you aren't aware, Joe has been hosting daily PE classes on his YouTube channel every morning at 9am, helping to keep us all fit during this tough time, and after being left overwhelmed by the support, the 33-year-old has vowed to donate any profit made to the amazing NHS.

Taking to his Instagram page to announce the news, Joe told fans, 'Words can't express how happy and proud I have felt every day this week as the nations P.E. teacher. I’ve been overwhelmed with the response and the support it's had from everyone. ❤️ As a result of so many people viewing the #PEWithJoe workouts on YouTube the advertising revenue generated has been unlike anything I've seen or experienced on my channel before.

'So I've decided that as long as I’m the nations P.E. teacher, every single penny of the money generated on these videos is going to the place where we need it the most right now. All of it is going straight to the NHS, to support the real heroes right now.

'Thank you for watching, joining in and sharing… I’m loving being your P.E. Teacher and now you can watch again, knowing you’re not only staying fit, you’re also helping raise money for the NHS.' (sic)

Many of Joe's online followers were quick to praise his kindness, Jamie Oliver's wife Jools wrote, 'So lovey thank you @thebodycoach our kids have loved having you in our he wonderful wonderful big hugs to your gorgeous brood 😍'. (sic)

Former One Direction singer Niall Horan added, 'Incredible stuff wicksy ❤️❤️', with This Morning's Ruth Langsford writing, 'Fantastic Joe....congratulations! 🎉Thank you for supporting the @nhswebsite Keep up the good work x x'. (sic)
