Joe Wicks: PE lesson goes ahead despite hand surgery

Joe Wicks was back for his PE class but he needed a bit of extra help!

After hurting his hand and spending two nights in hospital, the Body Coach - who's raised £200,000 for the NHS through his online PE class - admitted he would need to give his hand a rest and that he would need some support for Monday's YouTube session.

"I've just asked my lovely wife Rosie to help me on Monday morning and she's kindly agreed," he said.

Joe's wife Rosie demonstrated the moves while he led the session, wearing a suit and tie!

What is wrong with his hand?

The fitness instructor, who's been keeping children active with his daily PE classes on YouTube, had complained on Friday that his injury was hurting him, and decided he needed to go to hospital.

He first injured his hand, fracturing a bone, when he fell off his bike in March.

Wicks had minor surgery and wires were put inside to mend the injury. He had been wearing a bandage and despite the injury, carried on with his daily fitness classes and just avoided press-ups.

But Joe needed more treatment

Explaining the situation to his followers on social media, Joe revealed that, although the bones had healed and the wires inside had not broken, the injury was "inflamed and possibly infected".

He seemed to be in a good mood despite the pain and discomfort though, filming his journey to hospital and a trip to the shops to buy hospital snacks.

Due to hospitals being busy at the moment, Joe's operation was delayed because there were other patients in the queue and things were "slower than normal".

He later added: "I tell you what, this infection is no joke." And complained about the pain saying: "So glad I'm staying here tonight. I woke up all night last night as it was throbbing and pulsating like liquid hot magma.

"Thanks for all your well wishes."

Get well soon, Joe!
