Wilson posted a video titled "I've Retired from Gymnastics" on his YouTube channel on January 14, 2021, in which he announced his official retirement from competitive gymnastics. He cited health issues related to gymnastics as the primary reason for his retirement in the video.
Wilson has referred to a culture of bullying in British gymnastics following his departure from professional gymnastics. Wilson said he was "without a doubt" assaulted during his training, and that he was "dealive in fear" of his coaches and the consequences of underperforming. Wilson also told BBC Sport that he waited until after his retirement to raise these allegations because he feared, including dismissal from the British Olympic team if he spoke up while not continuing to work as a professional gymnast, despite being a professional gymnast.
