The zany, unique, and often hilarious world of Joe Marler
Throughout the series of The Celebrity Traitors, the British public embraced what rugby fans had known for years: Joe Marler's charm, wit, and unstoppable energy. It’s no wonder a man experienced in rugby’s cunning tactics fit perfectly on a show where deception is key.
In the final episode on Thursday night, Marler correctly guessed that Alan Carr and Cat Burns were the last two traitors. However, viewers were stunned when Marler was voted out before the finale by David Olusoga and Nick Mohammed, who mistakenly thought he was the remaining traitor.
Joe said: "It hurts to be stabbed in the back at the last minute, I'm gutted!"
Marler has a relatable, down-to-earth charisma, as if he could join you at the pub, pull up a stool, and chat about the show or the giant model bear in his garden. His sharp humor also shines through, with quips like calling Jonathan Ross' dramatic exit "the most ridiculous bow-out ever" and joking about his 'zombie walk' over a shaky bridge.
This lively personality was evident throughout his rugby career, which, despite occasional controversies, made him a memorable figure until his retirement last year.
Author’s summary: Joe Marler’s blend of humor, charisma, and unpredictability captivated both rugby fans and TV viewers, showcasing his unique spirit inside and outside the sport.
