Joe Wicks is giving the NHS all the money from his daily YouTube PE lessons

In case you missed it, Joe Wicks has become the nation’s de-facto PE teacher as coronavirus keeps the country’s schools closed.

The fitness coach has been giving daily PE lessons live on his YouTube channel each day at 9am, and they’ve been an absolute hit.

And in even better news, Joe has announced that all the money he makes from it will go directly to the heroes at the NHS, so now you’ve got another good reason to watch the 30 minute workout.

Nearly a million people have been tuning in each day, meaning his YouTube channel is making loads of advertising revenue – which will all now go to the NHS.

The dad-of-two took to social media to say he was ‘overwhelmed’ with the support he’s been shown.

Joe wrote on Twitter: “Words can’t express how happy and proud I have felt every day this week as the nation’s PE 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 nation’s 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. See you Monday at 9am”.

This is brilliant, well done Joe!
