Fitness coach Joe Wicks has revealed that his wife Rosie - who is pregnant with their fourth child - was rushed to hospital last week, just weeks after confirming their pregnancy.
Taking to Instagram Stories on Sunday, Joe, 38, uploaded an image of Rosie's growing baby bump dotted with what appeared to be butterfly stitches. Alongside the snap, he penned: "Rosie had to go into hospital last week to have her appendix out.

The update comes after Joe and his wife announced Rosie's pregnancy in a heartwarming social media post. Back in January, the doting couple, who tied the knot in 2019, uploaded a family photo in which Rosie was pictured cradling her blossoming bump in a chocolate brown catsuit.
Sharing their joyous baby news with the world, Joe gushed in his caption: "Baby number 4 incoming #20weeks."
Joe and Rosie are already proud parents to three children: daughter Leni, one, daughter Indie, five, and son Marley, three. Last year, Joe and Rosie opted to start homeschooling their eldest daughter for a year during their time in Santa Monica, California.

"I just love being with my kids," he said. "It's not a permanent thing, but we want to have another year together. I don't want to be someone who isn't present in my children’s life . . . what I try and give my children is stability and love, and I want them to know I'm always there for them."

Reflecting on his decision to limit tech time, Joe told us: "Having windows where I'm not on the phone has been so powerful for me. I'm doing this where between six pm and eight pm, I turn my phone off and put it away.
"[Instead] I'm playing with the kids, we're kicking the football around the house. And honestly, I'm having [the best] week and it's like the [most] fun two hours of my life."
Joe added that the shift away from tech has changed his mindset as well as had an impact on how he interacts with his children. "I'm not rushing to get back to my phone, I don't rush bedtime stories."
