Yahoo News Joe Wicks' wife Rosie is taking over his PE lessons after his hand surgery
Joe Wicks is currently in recovery after hand surgery, so his wife Rosie has kindly agreed to step up and demonstrate his PE lesson today (Monday, May 4).
Back in March, the Body Coach was admitted to hospital after picking up an injury on a bike ride, but he developed an infection that needed further hospital treatment over the weekend.
Forced away from his physical job for the time being, Joe announced his PE lesson replacement on Instagram yesterday.

Alongside a picture of himself and Rosie, Joe wrote: "In sickness and in health My wonderful wife Rosie has agreed to be by my side during tomorrow's PE lesson as my #TeachingAssistant [sic].
"I've just got out of hospital with an infection in my hand and whilst high on morphine last night I sent her a text saying "Rosie I think I need your help, I can't do PE Monday I'm in bits" to which she replied "Don't worry darling I'll do it with you".

"So at 9am tomorrow I'll be the teacher and she'll be the assistant demonstrating all the exercises for you. This is way out of her comfort zone and I love her so much for it. What a special woman I've got," he continued.
"She's quite shy and feeling nervous now it's actually happening so can you wish her good luck before bed please. See you at 9am everyone #pewithjoe #MrWicks #MrsWicks."
All the best, Rosie!
Joe had wires removed from his hand in hospital over the weekend and was full of praise for the NHS – his workouts have been raising money for NHS charities.
"It doesn't matter how old you are, when you see a nurse or a doctor you instantly feel safe and calm and relaxed," he said.
"I think it's amazing, the NHS people out here still grafting, still having to be around the Covid patients and it's just wonderful isn't it, that people are that kind to dedicate their lives to helping other people that are sick and unwell feel better."
