Joe Marler Launches New Show After Celebrity Traitors Finale
Joe Marler, the former England rugby star, faced late heartbreak on the BBC show The Celebrity Traitors but won over viewers with his vibrant personality and sharp humour. Despite his defeat, he has announced a brand new show following the finale.
Breakout Star of the Series
Marler stood out as the breakout star of the BBC spin-off, impressing audiences with his colourful character and impressive detective skills. He was the only contestant to correctly identify Jonathan Ross, Cat Burns, and Alan Carr as "traitors."
Final Betrayal and Elimination
Despite his sharp deductions, Marler was cruelly eliminated at the last moment after a surprise betrayal. Nick Mohammed and David Olusoga voted him out, allowing Alan Carr to claim the entire prize.

He is now set to return to podcasting with a new project, announced just moments after the show’s finale aired.
