JOE'S BEEN SCOOTING AROUND

Joe recently appeared in the new series "Mark Owen's Celebrity Scooters" on BBC Choice. Joe was featured riding a scooter across Belgium with ex-Take That star Mark Owen in three programmes of the series. Highlights included Joe being mobbed by fans in a town square and Joe singing 'Hey Jude' at the top of a bell tower.


SOAP WIN FOR JOE

As I'm sure you all know, Joe won the BEST ACTOR IN A SOAP OPERA 1999/2000 at the British Soap Awards on 27th May 2000. In his acceptance speech, he thanked his mum, dad, nan and girlfriend Rosanna. Notably, he was sitting in the audience next to Leila Birch ('Teresa di Marco' in "EastEnders") and Adam Woodyatt ('Ian Beale' in "EastEnders"). Behind him sat Martin Kemp ('Steve Owen' in "EastEnders"), together with his wife Shirley Kemp. Congratulations Joe!
