Joe wrote under the video: "I've had to call in a supply teacher for Monday's PE With Joe.

Rosie, who Joe shares two children with, proved a hit with viewers, with an impressive 207,749 live streams.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain today, Joe addressed the kids who do his workout videos, saying: "Just to prove to you this is an open wound so doctors have said I can't be jumping around.
"And I have got a note saying 'Joe is unable to do PE today because I forgot to wash his PE kit. He was also bitten by a dragon on Friday."

"I text Rosie and said I don't think I can do this on my own. She said she would help which is amazing, in fitness and in health!"
