Joe Wicks has raised £200,000 for the NHS through his daily online fitness classes PE With Joe. The fitness coach revealed the news during an appearance on Good Morning Britain, after returning home from hospital following surgery on his hand over the weekend.
Wicks, 33, had to have wires removed from his hand, which were put in place in a previous operation, after it became infected.
Speaking on Monday morning, he told co-hosts Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard how his hospital stay had made him feel “eternally grateful” for the “amazing” health service. “I was laying in there on Friday night and Saturday night, and all of Sunday,” he said.
