Joe Wicks chats to Zoe about the return of his online PE lessons and Katie Thistleton talks about BBC Bitesize returning to TV to help children studying at home.

Joe Wicks, aka The Body Coach, chats to Zoe about the return of his online fitness sessions for children and families he calls 'PE with Joe'. They are a series of 20-minute virtual workouts every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9am that Joe will be doing live on his YouTube channel following England's return to a national coronavirus pandemic lockdown, including the closure of all schools. Joe received an MBE last year for the virtual PE lessons he broadcast during the first national lockdown. In April 2020 Joe gained a brand new Guinness World Records title for the most viewers for a fitness workout live stream on YouTube. A record-breaking number of 955,185 households tuned in to P.E with Joe on the 24th March, hosted live on Joe’s YouTube channel: The Body Coach TV. Last year Joe raised over £2million for BBC Children in Need for his 24 Hour PE Challenge. 

Plus Zoe talks to Katie Thistleton, BBC Bitesize and Radio 1 Life Hacks presenter, about how the BBC will be delivering its biggest education offer in its history across online and TV.
  
Zoe also plays three disco classics from her personal collection in the Disco Ball at 8.30.

Along with Adam Porter on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Mike Williams on sport, she and the team have the best start to your morning. With celeb guests, headlines, tunes chosen by listeners, and more music that you can shake a glitterball at!

There's also a daily Pause For Thought with Cole Moreton and listeners on the line, as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!
