Rugby star Joe Marler has revealed that he was mistaken for a member of the production crew while appearing on the BBC's Celebrity Traitors. The former England international was a contestant on the show alongside celebrities including Alan Carr, Paloma Faith, Jonathan Ross and Celia Imrie.
Speaking on Channel 4's The Last Leg of the Year, Marler told hosts Josh Widdicombe, Adam Hills and Alex Brooker that some people on the programme did not realise he was a celebrity contestant. Adam Hills asked: 'I heard that you were mistaken for crew at some point. Is that right?' Marler joked that it was 'quite hard work' and mimicked being asked to help with a microphone, replying: 'I'll do mine first because I am on it with you!'
The rugby ace also shared advice for contestants on the upcoming fourth series of The Traitors, hosted by Claudia Winkleman. He advised looking out for 'sweating', adding: 'Look out for people who are sweating and laughing in your face every time they murder someone. Because apparently that's a telltale sign.' Marler's series was won by Traitor Alan.
The Last Leg of the Year also featured guests including Sir Lenny Henry, Phil Wang, Maisie Adam, Dani Dyer, Pete Doherty, Alex James, Lucy Bronze and Hannah Botterman. The show has been running since 2012, with over 30 series and specials.
