- Rugby star Joe Marler has made it to the Celebrity Traitors final.
- He is one of the five players left.
- But which teams did he play for in his career?
A former England rugby star has made it to the final of Celebrity Traitors. He will be hoping to add a win to his trophy cabinet.
Joe Marler is one of the five finalists who have made it to the end of the BBC spin-off’s very first season. He could also be well placed to win - at least according to the bookies.
Viewers missed out on their regular episode last night after a change in schedule. But the final is set to take place in just a few hours.
Who is Joe Marler on Celebrity Traitors?
A regular name on the team sheet for England over the years, Joe Marler has now hung up his rugby boots. He is now a podcaster and hosts Joe Marler's Things People Do.
During his 15 year career, Joe was a one club man and played for London team Harlequins from 2009 to 2024. He also represented England internationally and secured 95 caps over the years.
He was also part of the British and Irish Lions touring squad for the tour of New Zealand in 2017. Joe also had two appearances for the Barbarians during his career.
Is Joe Marler still on Celebrity Traitors?
The rugby star has not been ‘murdered’ by the Traitors and has made it to the final. He is one of three faithful left, but can he take the win?
What has he said about being on the show?
Joe had his eyes on becoming a Traitor before the show. He explained: “I'd like to be a Traitor because I suspect I'm one of the lesser-known characters in the game, and I'm hoping that as a Traitor, I could then use that lack of celebrity to my advantage.”
He continued: “I don't think I am good at reading people, but I would say I'm good at asking people the right question. If I do have a sense, I wouldn't trust my gut because my gut’s not always right! I’ll l feel comfortable calling people out if I have an idea though. I like awkward conversations.
“Awkwardness is sort of my favourite. I think you can find the most out of people when they’re put into an awkward situation, pack them into a corner and see what happens. You find the real person, how they deal with it.”
Celebrity Traitors fans warned that the final was released early outside the UK - by mistake. Find out how best to dodge the spoilers before it begins tonight.
