Happy Mondays’ Bez to rival Joe Wicks with his own YouTube fitness lessons

HAPPY Mondays’ Bez is launching YouTube fitness lessons.

The maraca-shaking raver — famed for his ’90s drink and drug antics — wants to beat the bulge after too much lockdown boozing and sugar.

He will get the middle-aged to step on every week for three months from January 17.

Bez, 56, said: “I’d like to think I’m somewhere between Joe Wicks and Mr Motivator.

“Normally I’ve been burning lots of calories by dancing, going to shows and generally being active.

"But since we went into the first lockdown I’ve mainly sat on the sofa.”

The star, real name Mark Berry, added: “I have special pants I wear at Christmas.

"This year they didn’t fit for the first time.

"I want to be fitter but I’m not sure I’m ready for Lycra.”

Joe, 34, made £9million in a week when tens of thousands signed to his new app.
