Joe Wicks accidentally punches himself in the face during PE lesson

Joe Wicks hits himself in the face

Joe Wicks has been getting really into his online PE lessons, so much so that he accidentally punched himself in the face.

The Body Coach 33, has been doing virtual classes to help children stay active after schools shut during the lockdown.

Wicks was showing off a set of jabs when he accidentally clipped himself in the chin, biting his tongue saying: "Argh, I've just punched meself on me chin, bit me tongue, chipped a tooth."

He continued after finishing the set: “Definitely don't punch yourself on the chin. Ah, silly sausage."

On Monday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that the UK will be locked down for three weeks, with everyone being advised to stay indoors as much as possible.

He has been running daily PE lessons on Monday to Friday at 9am on his YouTube channel TheBodyCoachTV and they have been a hit so far, with his toddler daughter Indie even joining in with squats in one video.

One person commented on Friday's video: “Thank you Joe and team! There are silver linings to lock down and this is one of them.”

Another said “Hi Joe love your workouts, I’m feeling a lot better after that!”

Wicks also posts weekly HIIT workouts for anyone looking for a new challenge and wanting to keep active.
