Joe's well-known in the YouTube world as a vlogging superstar and admitted this week that he was initially worried that all the long hours in the rehearsal room would impact his video output.
Speaking to The Telegraph, he said: "I guess someone like me does walk in thinking: 'Oh, they are looking to appeal to my online audience,' and 'how much time will filming take up?, how many rehearsals are needed?'. And then I have to think about how it will impact my actual day job."
But luckily for his 8.2 million subscribers, Joe will keep on uploading new content to his page regularly as he struts his stuff with his professional partner Dianne Buswell.
"I have no intention of slowing down the number of clips I do," he continued. "So it took me a long time to work out how I could fit in doing both properly."
