Joe Wicks has told Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on This Morning that he originally used fitness to escape problems that were going on at home. The 36-year-old fitness coach and TV presenter was talking on Monday, May 16 ahead of his BBC documentary, Joe Wicks: Facing My Childhood - and he revealed that he was also "the naughty kid" at school.
"Help didn't exist for me at school but what I did do was the gym," he said as he delved deeper into his past. "Exercise was my medication. I released all that anger and frustration through fitness," he told Phillip and Holly. He added: "There's stuff locked inside you when you're a kid that you don't want to confront."
Joe, who gained recognition for his home workouts whioch were broadcast on YouTube during lockdown, told the pair that the documentary was, "one of the most challenging things [he'd] ever done".
