"Funny for Money"

4 February 2026

60s


Why so serious?

There's a lot of Joe Marler to go around at the moment (the ex-England prop weighs almost nineteen stone after all). One of the breakout stars of 'The Celebrity Traitors' and host of 'Joe Marler Will See You Now', the former rugby union player now stars in a plug for Comic Relief opposite Jill Scott and Tia Kofi. He's inescapable, yes, but also invested in the advertised charity.

As the Daily Nose newspaper puts it, the world has "officially lost the plot". Some would say it’s much, much worse than that, but Marler, Scott, and Kofi aim to keep it as light as possible. That's why the hairy man of Eastbourne rides a tricycle, embraces his inner drag queen, and plays the back end of a donkey—after so many years as a forward in rugby, it's about time he sample a new position.
