'We still can't believe it': Pupils at Limerick primary school prepare for a visit from Joe Wicks 

The celebrity fitness instructor will visit St Nessans National School in Mungret, Co. Limerick next week

 Joe Wicks has also recently launched the BBC Children In Need for 2023

He entertained thousands of schoolchildren (and their parents) with fun workouts during the covid lockdown. Now lucky children who attend St Nessans National School in Mungret, Co Limerick will get to meet Joe Wicks in person. It's all thanks to the quick thinking of one first class teacher.

In August, staff teacher Jill Farrell has been scrolling on her Instagram feed. “Something caught my eye so I clicked it open and saw that Joe Wicks was announcing dates that he’s coming to visit schools across Ireland. I thought about it and then decided to go ahead and fill in the application. I described our school and the amount of focus we place on wellbeing and staying active, both mind and body, with the children.”
