During the Coronavirus lockdown, he garnered further success with his daily live streams of 'PE with Joe'. This led to him setting a world record in March for the most people accessing an exercise live stream.
This is not the first time that a guest has appeared on Dragons' Den, as former footballer Gary Neville joined the panel during several episodes last year.
Away from his playing career, Neville co-owns Salford City, a production company, and two hotels.
He started his property development whilst he was still playing football and it is now worth around £20 million.
