One person said on Twitter that it was “one of the cutest things I have seen all week”, while another said the whole thing provided “much needed endorphins from the exercise and cuteness”.
“As Joe Wicks’ baby daughter steps on from stage left, the nation’s hearts collectively melt,” said another.
The star started the 30-minute sessions on his YouTube channel this week after declaring that he wanted to be “the nation’s PE teacher”, and kids and adults across the country have been joining in.
Some fans from abroad have even been tuning in for the workouts.
Wicks told The Guardian he was “over the moon” about how the sessions have taken off.
“I feel quite overwhelmed by it,” he said.
The star also opened up about his childhood and career in the interview.

Wicks became known for his looks as he rose to fame as the Body Coach but he insisted that the “heartthrob” label is behind him.
“I am a dad and I am married and I’m very public about my love for my wife,” he said. “So the attention has shifted, it’s less, ‘We love him because he’s got abs’, the heartthrob days are over.”
“I’m 34 now, receding hairline, I’m not as lean as I was,” he added.
Wicks has two children with his wife Rosie – daughter Indie and son Marley.
