Our door was kicked in by cops and drugs were hidden down loo during horror years with heroin addict dad, says Joe Wicks
HE was the nation’s PE teacher for millions of kids during the pandemic, but Joe Wicks is now taking a look back at his own painful childhood. Joe admits he has blanked out swathes of his upbringing with two mentally ill parents on an Epsom council estate in BBC One documentary Joe Wicks: Facing My Childhood. The film - produced by Louis Theroux - sees Joe speak to his dad Gary about his heroin addiction and mum Raquela Mosquera about her OCD and eating disorder. In the show, Joe said: “There’s definitely things that went on that I’m just, I’m not choosing to remember.” Through tears, he added: “The worst thing as a kid is that you feel like it's your fault, you feel like you’re to blame, or that you're not worth enough, or your parents don’t love you enough. “Those feelings are hardcore man, you can't carry them as a kid.” .css-16e4f55{margin:16px 0;}.css-u6yh49{background-color:rgba(246,242,249,1);margin:16px 0;}.css-1tapza8{padding:20px 15px;}.css-1bk4jdt{padding:20px
