The 36-year-old was joined by hundreds of people at 7am outside Harry Ramsden's restaurant, where he delivered a short speech before heading off on a 5k run towards Boscombe.

Before the run got underway, Joe told the runners that the event would take about 35 minutes at a “nice pace”.

Taking to Twitter after the run, Joe tweeted: "Was not expecting that Big run this morning in Bournemouth."
