Joe and Rosie Wicks ‘inundated’ with big money offers as TV bosses scramble to sign them before Strictly and I’m A Celeb
TV BOSSES are racing to sign up Joe Wicks and his wife Rosie BEFORE the Body Coach commits himself to Strictly or I’m A Celebrity, Sun Online can reveal.
We previously told how the country’s top two reality TV shows were fighting it out to sign up 33-year-old Joe.
But sources say Joe is now holding out for a deal which will see him work more on screen with his wife, who began stepping in for him earlier this week.
The pair – who have become cult-favourites with kids and adults alike – are loving working with each other.
And the couple are expected to be inundated with offers from producers to become permanent fixtures on the telly.
A TV source told Sun Online: “Joe and Rosie are the hottest couple of TV at the moment and have massive appeal. They have loved working together and would really enjoy more opportunities.
“For producers they tick so many boxes – they look great, have brilliant screen chemistry and cover really important issues like healthy eating and keeping fit. And they are as popular with parents as they are children.
“The idea that Joe and Rosie will simply disappear from the telly when lockdown ends isn’t going to happen. There’s so much noise around the pair and there will be loads of opportunities coming their way.
“For Joe the idea of doing shows with his wife and talking about the issues he is passionate about are a lot more appealing than being on Strictly or I’m A Celeb. So he is keeping his options open.”
The source added that the pair have received some big deals to transfer their YouTube workouts onto mainstream telly.
They are also being tipped for slots on shows like This Morning – where they could stand in for Holly and Phil or the BBC’s the One Show which regularly showcases new presenting talent.
“Joe and Rosie are clean-cut so are a great match for those programmes,” the source added. “After that who knows? They have a massive TV career ahead of them.”

Joe, 33, who has a successful personal-training empire and writes recipes, is also expected to also rush-out a new book before the end of the year.
“Joe’s books are always bestsellers,” a source said. “Now he has hundreds of thousands more fans and the lockdown has opened him up to a whole new audience.”
Rosie, 28, is a former Page 3 girl and started dating Joe in 2016.
The pair married in June last year, and together they are mum and dad to 22-month-old Indie and five-month-old Marley.
