Joe Marler Joins Celebrity Traitors Cast Ahead of Filming

Joe Marler, a former England rugby star, has officially signed on to participate in the celebrity edition of the hit BBC show Celebrity Traitors, which begins filming next month at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands. At 34, Marler, who retired from professional rugby in November, expressed excitement about taking on this new challenge, noting he has a game plan ready for the competition. The show, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, is expected to feature a mix of celebrities from various backgrounds, with rumors of other stars like Stephen Fry, Courteney Cox, and Tom Daley also being considered for the cast. The Traitors has gained immense popularity, with its second series drawing record viewership and numerous awards. The format involves a mix of deception and strategy, as contestants try to identify the 'traitors' among them to win a cash prize. As the show gears up for filming, anticipation builds around how celebrity dynamics will influence the game's typical structure.
