<\/p>\nFormer Harlequins and England star Joe Marler is a BBC Celebrity Traitors finalist. His unique personality and razor-sharp wit have gained him a plethora of new fans as he looks to take home the coveted title.<\/p>\n
Now a Traitors favourite, here are 10 things you may not have known about the 35-year-old former rugby player.<\/p>\n
1 Joe Marler, Podcast Guru<\/p>\n
Joe started a podcast during his playing days. Originally launched as \u201cThe Joe Marler Show,\u201d the podcast was later rebranded to reflect what it truly was: a show that wasn\u2019t really about Joe at all.<\/p>\n
Instead, it focused on ordinary people doing extraordinary things, which inspired the new name, \u201cThings People Do.\u201d From deep dives into American politics to the all-important debate over whether the Victoria Sponge is the most boring cake ever baked, every episode was fuelled by Joe\u2019s trademark dry wit and offbeat charm.<\/p>\n
2 Joe Marler, OnlyFans Star<\/p>\n
It might sound like a joke, and it was \u2013 in a sense \u2013 but Marler really did launch a free OnlyFans account dedicated entirely to his feet. Aptly titled @JoseMalaTrotters, the account even came with its own tongue-in-cheek promotional video.<\/p>\n
In it, Marler leans into a mock-seductive tone, saying: \u201cHey you, yeah you. I\u2019ve seen the way you\u2019re looking at my feet. 9\/10 certified by a foot health specialist. Want to get your hands on these trotters? Well, now you can. Head over to @JoseMalaTrotters on OnlyFans.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
3 Joe Marler, Wind-up Merchant<\/p>\n
Whether he was tickling the nether regions of Alun Wyn Jones\u2019 crotch or getting strangled by James Haskell, Marler was no stranger to confrontation. He was just as comfortable using his 120 kg frame as he was his words, doing everything he could to get under his opposition\u2019s skin. Often, fans would hear Joe\u2019s voice being picked up on the referee\u2019s microphone as he found yet another way to put his opposition off their game.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
4 Joe Marler, Retirement King<\/p>\n
Some players retire from rugby only to realise they still crave the grind of the game. Jason Robinson, for example, walked away from international rugby before returning two years later to feature in the 2007 World Cup. More recently, Nic White announced his retirement, only to find himself back in Wallaby gold a week later. Marler, though, took that cycle to another level, retiring and unretiring so many times that few believed him when he finally called it a day for good.<\/p>\n
5 Joe Marler, Brisket Sandwich Eater<\/p>\n
The giant prop eats equally giant sandwiches. In a video shared by England Rugby, Marler admitted that his favourite lunchtime sandwich was, in fact, a brisket. Yes, that\u2019s correct, the cut of beef from the lower chest or breast of a cow. Known for being tough but becoming tender with slow, low-temperature cooking methods like smoking, pot roasting, or braising. Marler\u2019s favourite choice of filling was created by the England Rugby chef, resulting in the giant concoction below.<\/p>\n
