Broadcaster & Former International Rugby Player
One of the most recognisable and charismatic personalities in world rugby, Joe Marler is a two-time Premiership champion with over 75 England caps. Having spent his entire club career at Harlequins, winning two Premiership titles, the European Challenge Cup and making 204 appearances – Joe announced his retirement from professional rugby in November 2024.
Since stepping away from the sport, Joe has become a standout figure in entertainment. In Autumn 2025, Joe starred in The Celebrity Traitors, where he quickly became one of the show’s most popular and talked-about contestants. Reaching the final and winning audiences over with his humour, honesty and brilliantly unpredictable gameplay, Joe experienced a major rise in public profile – gaining hundreds of thousands of new followers and cementing himself as a household name far beyond rugby.
Joe now hosts Joe Marler Will See You Now, a podcast where he steps into the role of an unqualified yet strangely persuasive pseudo-psychologist. Each episode sees Joe sit down with a different celebrity for probing questions, awkward small talk and unconventional challenges that get beneath the surface. Part interview, part experiment, the series showcases Joe’s trademark humour, emotional intelligence and unpredictably sharp instincts.
In 2020 Joe published his debut book, Loose Head, Confessions of an (un)professional rugby player. He is passionate mental health advocate and ambassador for CALM. In 2021 Joe teamed up with Sky Sports to launch Big Boys Don’t Cry, a sensitive and uplifting documentary which followed Joe as he travelled across the UK to learn how others manage their mental wellbeing. Joe continues his role at England Rugby as Player Liaison Officer.
