Joe Wicks has said that he hopes that his new documentary will help people to open up more about parental mental health. The 36-year-old told of his parents' own struggles with mental health problems, and said that he wants to inspire others to do the same.
The new documentary is called Joe Wicks: Facing My Childhood, and will be broadcast on May 16. It will see The Body Coach explore the impact of his mother’s eating disorder and severe obsessive compulsive disorder and his father’s drug addiction had on him when he was growing up.
Popular documentary maker Louis Theroux produced the programme. Theroux has previously spoken how Wicks' fitness programmes were a lifeline during the Coronavirus lockdowns.
