This archive clip of the old BBC Breakfast fitness guy went viral because, well, have a watch for yourself
Today it’s all about Joe Wicks doing free fitness classes from an inordinately clean and tidy so-called front room on YouTube.
But back in the day – by which we mean the early ’80s – the BBC’s Breakfast programme had Tony Britts.
And four decades later he’s gone viral all over again because, well, have a watch for yourself why don’t you.

I hadn't noticed the rug. Or the floor 👀

Blimey. Those shorts are really tiny and quite frankly mesmerising.

Probably inside his house.
