Celebrity Traitors Star Joe Marler Tipped for New BBC Presenting Role
Rugby player and Celebrity Traitors contestant Joe Marler has emerged as a surprise favorite among fans of the BBC series. His sharp instincts and charisma on screen have reportedly attracted attention from BBC bosses, who are considering him for a new presenting opportunity, according to the Mirror.
During the show’s run, viewers watched eagerly as Marler sought to uncover Traitors, including fellow contestants Jonathan Ross, comedian Alan Carr, and singer Cat Burns. Jonathan Ross has since been banished from the castle, and Marler’s determination has kept audiences engaged through the penultimate episode.
BBC Interest and Future Prospects
Reports from the Mail indicate that BBC executives have closely followed Marler’s journey on the show to assess his appeal with audiences. One insider shared insight into the broadcaster’s enthusiasm for his evolving career path.
“The BBC is constantly looking for new talent and the second he stopped playing rugby, there were eyes on him. Bosses knew that getting him on Traitors would be a very good shop window for him and they could test whether or not the viewers would like him. As soon as they saw it, they knew he would be someone the British public would adore and they seem to be right.”
The same source noted that Marler himself appears eager for a new challenge after retiring from professional rugby.
“He has long wanted to present from a BBC sofa and The One Show is one of his favourite programmes. To anchor that would be his dream.”
Summary
Joe Marler’s natural charm and popularity on Celebrity Traitors may soon propel him into a fresh presenting career at the BBC, fulfilling his long-held ambition to host a national program.
