Joe Wicks 'earns £1.6m over past year after virtual PE sessions'

Joe Wicks has earned £1.6 million over the past year.

The Body Coach is said to have earned the huge sum after becoming the nation\'s fitness instructor during the coronavirus pandemic lockdown, with his \'PE With Joe\' classes on YouTube, which proved incredibly popular with more than a million viewers per session at their peak.

According to The Sun newspaper, figures for Joe\'s companies revealed a massive spike for the time period, which includes the first week of quarantine.

Back in April, Joe revealed he had donated thousands of pounds from his videos to the NHS.

"I\'ve loved it so much and I will miss you all. I will be back. I\'m going to have a little break and I will be doing more live workouts throughout the year. I\'m really emotional. Rosie is crying."
