Joe Marler Finds Celebrity Traitors ‘Incredibly Uncomfortable’

Joe Marler, a former England rugby player, recently shared his experiences on the show *Celebrity Traitors*, describing the journey as both humbling and often uncomfortable. The 35-year-old contestant faced off against notable figures like Stephen Fry, Jonathan Ross, and Alan Carr, in a battle of wits and deception.

Joe Marler’s Experience on *Celebrity Traitors*

Marler admitted to feeling “incredibly uncomfortable” during the competition. Despite his fame in the rugby community, he noted that general public recognition is limited. “You think rugby is massive… then you realize people outside of that world often don’t know who you are,” he explained during a podcast with Jamie Laing.

Unforeseen Highlights

One surprising highlight for Marler was being mistaken for a crew member rather than a contestant. He remarked, “Being thought of as the sound guy or in charge of the props was amusing.” Regardless of these awkward moments, Marler described the experience as “one of the best” of his life.

Recognition and Popularity

Since the series started airing, Marler has received a warm response from the audience. However, he frequently faces questions about his presence on the show, with many asking how he qualified among the other renowned participants.

Currently, Marler is classified as a “Faithful,” meaning he is not privy to the identities of the Traitors. Despite his nerves, his passionate participation during the round table discussions has sparked suspicion among his fellow contestants.

Statistics and Contest Outcomes

• Ten Faithfuls have been eliminated after six episodes.
• No Traitors have been successfully identified and ousted yet.
• This performance represents the lowest success rate in the show’s history.

Stephen Fry, who was among those banished, revealed that he “lost all faith” in his judgment due to the cunning tactics of his fellow contestants, including Carr, Ross, and Cat Burns.

*Celebrity Traitors* airs on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 9 PM on BBC One, captivating audiences with its strategic intrigue and celebrity dynamics.
