Fitness coach Joe Wicks held back tears on This Morning during an emotional moment talking about his traumatic childhood…

"What I've realised is, you can work through it and you can actually have an amazing friendship. "You know there's stuff locked inside you as a kid that you suppress and you don't want to confront.

George seems to have completely different interests than his brothers who have a love for fitness. Joe isn’t an only child, he actually has two brothers, Nikki and George who also had to repair their relationship with their parents. He was kind of like my right-hand man who you couldn’t see."

The fitness guru and chef, 36, will lift the lid on his troubled upbringing in his new documentary Joe Wicks: Facing My Childhood.

Memories: His voice breaking, Joe says: 'Some days I'm like I really love this other days I just want it to stop. His voice breaking, Joe continued: 'It comes in waves, some days I'm like I really love this other days I just want it to stop. My mum had severe OCD and my dad was in and out of rehab, it was madness.' 'I remember being a child in that scenario and just being so upset and confused and lost. So your mum and dad just didn't want to talk about these things and that's what the documentary is about - when can we bring the kids into the conversation?' Joe also explained that although the documentary is emotional, there's a message of hope. I was disruptive, I was the naughty kid because no one stopped me and said, "What's going on?" I was just anxious all the time and scared and nervous. I had to show her the lines. It's given me that drive and empathy to want to help others and even share this story. There was that fear of, "if I tell people about my eating disorder or that I'm struggling, they'll be taken away".' I found it really difficult doing this documentary.

Despite the painful reminder of his upsetting childhood, Wicks was a beacon of positivity throughout the documentary.

“Do you want a little hug?” he asked Nikki. By the end of a powerful but hopeful film, I felt I needed one too. She survived off chocolate and cans of coke.” He also spoke to his father, who started drinking and taking drugs at 13 and believes, to this day, substance abuse saved his life by medicating his depression. In the hard-hitting yet ultimately optimistic and redemptive Joe Wicks: Facing My Childhood, he composed voicemails for many of those who had reached out.

The nation's favourite PE teacher explored his troubled upbringing and how it shaped who he is today in a moving documentary.

It was a great thing to do, but he admitted here that he felt “really low” when it ended. As the programme title suggested, Wicks had a difficult childhood which has shaped the person he is today. It has always been obvious that there is something driving Joe Wicks. Not just the ambition common to successful people, but something more complicated.

The fitness guru, 36, tugged at the heartstrings of BBC viewers on Monday night they tuned in to watch his emotional documentary Facing My Childhood.

It's given me that drive and empathy to want to help others and even share this story. 'I am in a much more positive place with it all. It was a very emotional process but I’ve come away from it feeling stronger and more positive. 'There you will find links to all the relevant charities and services you may need. 'It’s so important we talk about our issues and remove the shame, guilt and stigma from mental illness and addiction. One moved fan said they were in awe of the father of two: 'Joe Wicks... you are absolutely amazing & incredibly inspiring.
