The Celebrity Traitors star Joe Marler made it to the final of the BBC gameshow.

The Celebrity Traitors star Joe Marler has disclosed he spun numerous fibs to his wife regarding the BBC programme.

The rugby ace reached the finale of the BBC gameshow, falling short of victory as a Faithful, whilst the ultimate Traitor Alan Carr scooped £87,500 for Neuroblastoma UK.

Whilst the programme had been recorded earlier this year, with stars including Cat Burns, Kate Garraway, Tom Daley, Sir Stephen Fry and Celia Imrie journeying to Ardross Castle in Scotland, the result of the murder mystery remained strictly confidential.

And now Joe has disclosed he kept even his spouse in the dark.

During a stint on Loose Women today (Monday 10 November), he confessed: “I didn’t tell my wife when I came out what happened,” reports Wales Online.

“She’s such a fan, she wanted to be able to watch it and not know, so I told her eight different versions.

“By the time she got to the final, she was like, ‘No way!'”

Joe narrowly missed out on the win despite convincing the others he was 100% a Faithful and naming all three Traitors: Alan, Cat and Jonathan Ross.

He was blindsided by Nick Mohammed’s betrayal at the final moment, but holds no hard feelings and praised Alan as a worthy winner.

“We all absolutely loved Alan, he was himself from day one to the end, and he had us all in fits of laughter, maybe that played a part,” he said.

“Even though I suspected him, I was like, I love playing the game with you.”

He added: “He’s a great winner, had me and Nick done it, that’s not as good, is it?”

Joe went on to say that he “didn’t realise” how difficult it was to be a Traitor, until a conversation he had with Jonathan, who has been open about how much he struggled to lie and deceive on the show.

“It hadn’t dawned on me that we’d played different roles and he spent his whole time lying, and it was clearly a burden, and a burden on Alan as well.”

Despite wanting to be a Traitor, Joe admitted he would have made a “terrible” one, and been left “panicking”.

Speaking of the “intense” roundtables, he added: “I remember sitting there [with my hand up] for the first couple of roundtables.”

“I was just really nervous,” he shared. “I started getting confident with it all and enjoyed myself with it more.”
