Joe Wicks celebrates with his mum as he receives an honorary degree from Loughborough University after claiming his sugar-laden diet led to his  behavioural issues at school


Joe Wicks celebrated with his proud mother on Tuesday after receiving an honorary degree from Loughborough University in Leicestershire.

Appearing on BBC Radio 5 Live's Headliners podcast in April, Joe, 38, also controversially claimed ultraprocessed junk food may be behind the explosion in child ADHD diagnoses 'So, when I think about my diet it was cereal for breakfast, concentrated juice from the milkman, Sunny Delight, Wagon Wheels, sandwiches just jam, Nutella, very little nutrients — pure sugar.' Joe has lauded his mother for being 'brave' enough to get the help she needed in the form of five months of therapy, while his older brother Nikki tried to shelter him from the daily horrors of living with their addict father.
