The 34-year-old fitness guru - who is known as The Body Coach - set himself the gruelling task of working out for an entire day, and he was "so buzzed" to hit his target in aid of the annual charity telethon.

Speaking to Zoe Ball on BBC Radio 2's 'Breakfast Show', he said: "I feel like so buzzed… I need to say thank you for supporting me, BBC Radio 2, these 24 hours, we’ve made an amazing amount of money…

"Thank you to everyone who’s sponsored and donated… who knows, I may even be back next year!’

Joe also revealed the first thing he'd be doing after finishing the challenge.

He added: "Bounce all over the room and then get to my hotel bedroom and sleep as much as I can."

The star - who was joined on Zoom by the likes of Josh Groban, Marvin Humes, Tim Peake, Dame Kelly Holmes, Claudia Winkleman, Matt Baker and Sam Smith during the 24 hours - burned over 10,000 calories with his immense workout, and raised over £1.5 million for 'Children In Need'.

Helen Thomas, Head of Station at Radio 2, added: "An enormous thank you and congratulations to Joe Wicks.

"His unbelievable effort has raised an incredible £1,520,020 for 'BBC Children in Need' with his 24 Hour PE Challenge on Radio 2.

"Powered largely by crumpets and chocolate with some support from fantastic guests joining him remotely to spur him on.

"This achievement will change the lives of thousands of children across the UK.

"Thank you to all our wonderful Radio 2 listeners who have donated and the tireless efforts of the production team behind the scenes.”
