Joe Wicks fans confused as tech blunder means Body Coach does entire PE With Joe session in silence
JOE Wicks fans were left scratching their heads as he did his entire PE With Joe session in silence earlier today.
The fitness fanatic, 34, has kept the nation moving throughout the ongoing coronavirus pandemic with his upbeat workouts – but this morning nobody could hear a word he was saying.
Joe, also known as the Body Coach, took to Twitter to share the live stream of his first session of March 2021.
As he got into the swing of things dressed up as a giraffe, many of his followers couldn't understand why they couldn't hear anything.
One replied to his tweet promoting the session with: "Can’t hear you Joe…?"
A second said: "Still no sound, but keep going joe, we’re still copying you."
A third asked: "Is your sound ok from your end? Silence this end despite all setting being ok."
A fourth chimed in: "Wondered if it was ours – can’t hear anything seems we aren’t alone!"
And a fifth simply said: "Can’t hear anything."
Despite the telly presenter having no sound, he carried on and completed the 20 minute workout and fans thought it was his best one yet.
One wrote: "Well done @thebodycoach thoroughly enjoyed today who needs sound when u have a giraffe and a gorgeous fighty sport the dog?"
A second said: "No sound didn’t stop us."
A third added: "Best workout I've ever done with a giraffe!! Who needs sound? Thank you Joe. We appreciate everything you're doing for young people and physical and mental health through lockdown."
A fourth tweeted: "Thanks for keeping going despite the sound issues! Dedicated & professional."
This isn't the first time that technology hasn't been on Joe's side.
Just last week he was forced to cancel his online PE class for first time EVER after a wi-fi blunder threw everything into chaos.
On Friday he took to Twitter to explain that internet problems in his area were the reason why he couldn't do PE With Joe.
He told his 427k followers: "Morning everybody. I’ve got some bad news. I’m running around the streets trying to find the open reach broadband bods because the internet to the house is down so the live workout on the app today didn’t happen and i can’t do PE with Joe for the first time ever.
"1MB per second upload speed just ain't going to cut it so I’m really sorry but I can’t do PE with Joe today. I can’t find the engineers but hopefully it’ll be back Monday with the internet up and running.
"So sorry everybody. If you’ve got kids or school teachers or anyone who’s about to do PE with Joe, it’s not going to happen today. I apologise."
PE With Joe started back in March 2020 as a way of keeping families fit during the first national lockdown.
The sessions ran all the way up until July 2020.
More than 900,000 people tuned in around the world for his first session and they went on to tally up a whopping 70 million views in total.
Not only has he got people working up a sweat, he's also managed to raise £500,000 for the NHS.
The telly favourite decided to bring back PE With Joe when the UK were put into a third lockdown, but has reduced the sessions to every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Last month it has been revealed that Strictly Come Dancing bosses want to sign theTV fitness guru for this year’s show.
A source told us: “Joe is popular with kids so appeals to a wide audience and is tempted to take part. He’s focussed hard on his career in the past, but would love to have some fun and put a smile on people’s faces."
