‘1MB per second upload speed just ain’t going to cut it so I’m really sorry but I can’t do PE with Joe today. I can’t find the engineers but hopefully it’ll be back Monday with the internet up and running.
‘So sorry everybody. If you’ve got kids or school teachers or anyone who’s about to do PE with Joe, it’s not going to happen today. I apologise.’

Discussing the phenomenal success of his PE With Joe workouts during a recent appearance on Loose Women, Joe said: ‘I had no idea [what the reaction would be].
‘I’ve done a lot of YouTube workouts before, I’ve done a lot of live tours, I’ve visited schools in the UK. I had a feeling a lot of people in the UK would get involved but not to the extent.. it’s been a global thing… different time zones all over the world!’
Since launching his daily P.E classes, Joe has raised over £500,000 for the NHS through YouTube advert revenue.
