Joe Wicks is reportedly eyeing up a move Stateside after his YouTube videos have gained notoriety with his American fans.
The nation’s favourite PE teacher, who recently had surgery on his hand, has been inundated with messages from youngsters and adults watching his workouts from their homes in the US.
Since lockdown, Joe aka The Bodycoach star has been putting on daily PE workouts to keep Britain moving during the coronavirus pa – and the 30 minute videos have become a fan-favourite across the pond.
According to an Insider, the father-of-two has been overwhelmed with the way his channel has grown worldwide and is now hoping he can expand his brand in the States.

An insider said: “Joe has been pretty astonished by the way the workouts have taken off not just in the UK but around the world.
“Every day he gets hundreds of messages from fans in America and the Far East – some of whom stay up late to do the workouts live rather than on catch up!”
The source continued telling The Sun Online: “It’s crazy but Joe is thankful for all the people who tune it and have made it such a success. And he’d love to do more work in America where this is obviously such a massive market for this kind of thing.”

Earlier in his career, Joe tried to crack America, but he never seemed to make it happen.
But with his profile known all over the world, and Americans loving his easy-to-follow workouts, TV channels and sports brands are reportedly keen to get him on board.
The insider added that “it’s the perfect time to go for it again”.
“American TV producers would love Joe and everything that comes with him – his story is just perfect for over there.
“And more important Joe is fiercely ambitious and would love to crack America. He has the energy, enthusiasm and drive to make it work.”
Since the start of March, he has managed to raise a whopping £100,000 for the NHS as nurses and staff continue to work on the frontline during the coronavirus pandemic.
The fitness guru previously revealed he is donating “every single penny” of the advertising revenue generated from the workouts to the National Health Service.
