Joe Wicks shares memories of last visit to Liverpool on 5k walk with fans

Joe Wicks admired the city's beauty as he joined fans for a 5k walk down Liverpool's waterfront.

Over 50 people joined The Body Coach for the walk this morning, starting outside the Liver Building at 8am. The fitness coach stayed over in the city on Thursday evening after holding an evening at Oh Me Oh My as part of his book tour.

The ECHO joined Joe for his walk along the waterfront after he put a call out on Instagram for fans to come along. The YouTube personality said it was the second time he has visited the city, having previously had "one of the best nights out of his life" here.

Joe told the ECHO: "I've been here once but I never saw this part of the city. I mean it's beautiful, the sun's shining and what a lovely place.

"I have had a night out here once and I had one of the best nights of my life. I went to a place called Salt Dog Slims and Alma De Cuba and I danced on tables; I had one of the best nights of my life but I haven't been back since then.

"I'm not running because I've buckled myself doing too many 5ks this week so we're going to walk along the waterfront."

Joe is in Liverpool for the launch of his new book, Feel Good Food, and is due to travel to Edinburgh later today. Fans of all ages joined him on the walk this morning as he stopped to take selfies and chat with them.
