Joe Marler ‘uncomfortable’ amid Celebrity Traitors accusations

Celebrity Traitors’ Joe Marler accused of creating an ‘awkward atmosphere’ as roundtable vote gets heated
  • Celebrity Traitors contestant Joe Marler has described his time on the BBC show as both humbling and "incredibly uncomfortable", ultimately calling it "one of the best experiences" of his life.
  • The former England rugby player, who retired last November, has admitted he felt a lack of recognition outside the rugby world, even being mistaken for a “sound guy” or props manager on set.
  • Marler, a Faithful player, has started to draw suspicion due to his impassioned contributions during the heated round table discussions.
  • The current cast of Celebrity Traitors is statistically the worst-performing in the show's history, with 10 Faithfuls banished or "murdered" and no Traitors successfully identified after six episodes.
