The atmosphere at Twickenham Stadium was electric, a celebration of England’s historic victory over New Zealand. But behind the cheers and the glow of a hard-fought win, a bizarre and unsettling incident unfolded, leaving former England rugby player Joe Marler utterly stunned.
Marler, known to a new audience from his recent appearance on *Celebrity Traitors*, was co-hosting an exclusive hospitality event with renowned TV chef James Martin. Guests had paid a hefty £1,250 a ticket for the experience, which included a four-course meal crafted by Martin himself and post-match interviews with rugby legends.
The celebratory mood shattered when Martin was presented with CCTV footage revealing a shocking act: someone had defecated in a VIP lift. The news rippled through the suite, eliciting a mix of horrified gasps and incredulous laughter.
Martin, visibly shaken, announced the incident to the assembled guests, including figures like Warren Gatland. Initial reactions included playful accusations directed at Marler, but the chef quickly made it clear this was no laughing matter.
Driven by a sense of disbelief and outrage, Martin and Marler have now launched a determined effort to identify the culprit. Armed with the CCTV footage, they are vowing to track down the individual responsible for the appalling act.
The incident occurred shortly after England secured a decisive 33-19 win, adding a surreal layer to the already momentous occasion. The exclusive suite, launched just months prior, offered unlimited Guinness and access to rugby stars, but no one anticipated such an unwelcome surprise.
Marler, still reeling from a recent betrayal on *Celebrity Traitors* – a narrow elimination in the final orchestrated by Nick Mohammed – now finds himself on a different kind of hunt. He confessed to feeling “heartbroken” by his game show exit, admitting he’d been undone by a gut feeling rather than a carefully laid plan.
Despite the sting of that loss, Marler’s focus has shifted to the Twickenham incident. He expressed a surprising fondness for Mohammed, even amidst his disappointment, but now faces a far more unusual challenge: uncovering the identity of the VIP lift vandal.
