100 episodes of Just The Fitness Tip. What an achievement. There was only one way to mark the occasion. Something we mentioned back on episode 24 and what we've been working on solidly since episode 94; we're joined by the legend, Mr Motivator aka Derrick Evans MBE.

He talks about how we hounded him to come on the show and tells us the hounding he did to get on GMTV back in the 90s, at a time when advertisers did not want a black man doing aerobics on morning telly.

He gives us rare insight into his personal life, how he was given up at 3 months old, moving to the UK from Jamaica and growing up in Leicester. He tells us the key things that took him from being a homeless single parent in his early 20s to training Gloria Hunniford, Lorraine Kelly, Eamon Holmes and being the face of fitness for a generation.

We hear about his recent work with charities like Social Bite and starting his Motivator Club aimed at getting older people moving and caring more about their health.

He tells us what he really thinks about modern fitness personalities like Joe Wicks & James Smith, his favourite Gladiator and the biggest scoop of all, what he keeps in his bumbag.
