Fitness guru Joe Wicks has been taken to hospital after following a stomach churning accident, leaving him forced to cancel work.
The personal trainer, 39, was out running when he rolled his ankle and took to Instagram on Tuesday to reveal he’s now on crutches with ligament damage.
He wrote: ‘Happy New Year. Had a shocker this morning. Thought I’d end the year with a run.
‘Was feeling inspired and hit the road in the dark at 6am. As I ran around the corner I rolled my ankle on the grass and put all of my weight onto it. So painful.
‘I had to hop back home on my other foot. Anyway bit of a setback. Went to the hospital for an X-ray because I thought it was fractured.
‘Good news is that it’s not broken, just ligament damage. Codeine and ice for me today.
He continued: ‘Unfortunately this means I won’t be able to do my planned 5km walk around Virginia Lake tomorrow morning. So sorry I can’t make it. I was really looking forward to it.
‘I’ll plan another one there as soon as I can. If you know anyone who was planning on coming along can you please tag them below or let them know today. I’m worried they won’t see it and will turn up.’
It comes after he denied claiming that ultraprocessed food could trigger ADHD, months after he was slammed for saying his hyperactive behaviour in childhood was down to ‘Wagon Wheels and jam sandwiches’.
