Joe Wicks, spaghetti carbonara and a pinot gris

Nick and Angela welcome the UK’s favourite PE teacher to Dish HQ.

The Body Coach began his career as a personal trainer in south-west London in 2012. Joe Wicks harnessed the power of social media and soon thousands of people were following his food and fitness content. During the Covid pandemic, he launched PE with Joe and live-streamed daily workouts for kids stuck at home, which became a global hit and raised money for the NHS. Joe was awarded a Guinness World Record for the most viewers of a fitness workout live-stream on YouTube, with more than 950,000 households tuning in on 24 March 2020. His new book Feel Good in 15: 15-minute Recipes, Workouts + Health Hacks is out now.

Joe Wicks has Italian roots, so Angela cooks one of her crowd-pleasers. A spaghetti carbonara which Joe and Nick decide is the best they've ever tasted. Our trio talk about Joe’s childhood, his plans for Christmas and the food he just cannot abide over a bottle of Ara Single Vineyard Pinot Gris.
