Who is Celebrity Traitors' Joe Marler?
- Published
Former England prop Joe Marler is set to join the first celebrity version of The Traitors.
Fans will have to wait and see whether Marler is a Faithful or selected as a Traitor.
The 35-year-old earned 95 caps for England and won three Six Nations Championships (2016, 2017 and 2020).
He also represented England at three World Cups, including in 2019 when they were beaten by South Africa in the final.
He played his entire club career at Harlequins and made 286 appearances until his retirement.
With Quins, Marler won two Premiership Rugby titles in 2012 and 2021 and the Challenge Cup in 2011.
He was also called up to the British and Irish Lions tour of New Zealand in 2017 and the Barbarians in 2019 and 2022.
After 15 years of playing, he retired from professional rugby in November 2024.
Marler is an advocate for mental health and has often spoken about his experiences.
He hosts a podcast 'Things People Do' with Tom Fordyce where they interview people doing extraordinary things.
Marler has also featured as a celebrity panelist on the gameshow 'The Wheel' in 2021 and 2023.
He took up padel tennis in 2023 and has continued to play after his retirement from rugby.
"I have no idea which one of me is going to come out in this game because I don't know what it's going to do to me!
"I think, as a fan, you have ideas - we could play it like that and do it like this," he said.
The Celebrity Traitors begins on Wednesday, 8 October at 21:00 on BBC One and iPlayer.
