Joe Marler, the former England prop, has openly expressed his relief at no longer having to keep secrets from his wife following the finale of Celebrity Traitors, a thrilling show where he competed alongside other celebrities. The show, which concluded on a high note with 12 million viewers, saw Marler become a key player until his dramatic exit.
In the climactic moments of the show, Marler's prior actions led to his elimination, as fellow competitor Nick Mohammed interpreted his apology to another player as deceptive. This pivotal decision by Mohammed effectively ended Marler's run, paving the way for Alan Carr, the remaining traitor, to seize victory in a stunning television moment.
Reflecting on his experience, Marler shared with BBC Breakfast,
"It's been carnage. I thought it would all calm down after the finale, but everyone's still buzzing about it."
He continued to reveal the personal relief he felt, now being able to speak freely, especially around his wife, admitting,
"I think the only relief I've got is I now don’t need to lie to my wife."
He humorously added that he concocted numerous outcomes to maintain the suspense for her.
Marler was candid about the payment structure of the show, disclosing to The Times that each celebrity was compensated equally, regardless of how long they lasted. "I don’t think everyone got paid the same. But I’m not bothered. It was 30 grand whether you lasted two days or three weeks – a no-brainer," he stated, acknowledging the straightforward appeal of participating. Despite feeling like an outsider among the celebrities, Marler's unique character eventually endeared him to both his peers and the audience.
The emotional toll was also significant for Marler during the filming, as he grappled with personal loss. "The producers already knew she was terminally ill, so I went to them and said, ‘That’s me done’. They were great. I was leaving, then Daisy rang back and said, ‘Look, there’s not a lot you can do right now, so just stay up there until you get kicked out’," he recounted, highlighting the support he received during a challenging time.
Marler's journey on Celebrity Traitors not only tested his strategic acumen but also showcased his resilience and multifaceted personality, making him a memorable participant in the show's inaugural celebrity edition.
