A former England rugby team-mate of Joe Marler has accused him of being betrayed in the final episode of the reality TV show “Celebrity Traitors.” Marler, who had retired from international rugby the previous November, was part of a group of 19 celebrities selected for the BBC program, where he was tasked with identifying the Traitors among them.
Known for his outspoken nature, Marler reached the show’s final four alongside actor Nick Mohammed, with whom he had formed a close alliance. However, Mohammed’s last-minute change of heart led to Marler’s elimination, allowing chat show host Alan Carr to claim the charity prize.
Marler’s England team-mates were surprised by the turn of events in the final episode. Second-row Alex Coles praised Marler’s charisma, humor, and the opportunity the show provided to display a different side of a rugby player to the public.
Despite the outcome, Marler harbors no ill feelings towards Mohammed and expressed admiration for his decision. The two shared a moment of reconciliation when the contestants reunited, with Marler acknowledging Mohammed’s change of heart.
Marler also formed a bond with comedian Joe Wilkinson during the show, praising his humor and intelligence. As the show concluded, Marler reflected on the experience and the relationships forged.
