The 43-year-old actor - who plays Mick Carter in 'EastEnders' - isn't a huge fan of overtly health-conscious people, and he's admitted to finding Joe to be particularly irksome.

He said: "I’ve met a lot of people who are healthy as f***, and I look at their bodies and I go, ‘Look at you, you’re ripped to f***.’ I go, 'Wow.' Then they open their mouth and they’ve got absolutely no charisma and dialogue whatsoever. I’ve never met a really fit, healthy man who is not f****** irritating."

Joe, 34 - who is also known as The Body Coach - helped to keep the nation active during the first lockdown earlier this year with his workout videos.

Danny acknowledges that Joe's heart "is in the right place" - but he still finds him to be "irritating".

Speaking on 'Sorted with the Dyers', the actor explained: "This is going to be an unpopular opinion: Joe Wicks.

"I’m not going to be nasty about him. This man’s heart is in the right place – but everything about him is so irritating. Maybe because I’m jealous of his body or his hair?

"I wouldn’t want to have a one-on-one with him, like going to play snooker. I reckon he’d be s*** at it for one, and also how could you go for a meal with him? When you know he’s looking at you with his side-eye."

Danny - who joined the 'EastEnders' cast in 2013 - admitted he finds Joe's health-conscious chat to be "too much".

He said: "Listen, Joe Wicks, I’m sure he’s a lovely cat. But it’s too much. Because everything that comes out of their mouth is about food and nutrition and staying 'healthy and positive' and all that sort of caper."
