A shocking incident has left James Martin and Joe Marler on a mission to uncover the truth. The duo, known for their culinary expertise and TV presence, are reportedly tracking down a rugby fan who caused quite the stink at their exclusive event.
The story unfolds at the Allianz Stadium in Twickenham, where James and Joe hosted a VIP suite for England's thrilling victory over New Zealand. Among the luxurious perks, including a four-course meal prepared by James himself, an unexpected and rather unpleasant surprise awaited.
A VIP Lift, a Poo, and a Hunt for Justice
Imagine the scene: James, a renowned TV chef, takes to the stage alongside Joe, a former rugby star and Celebrity Traitors alum. With a look of sheer disbelief, James reveals to the crowd that someone had the audacity to leave a massive poo in the VIP lift.
Some attendees couldn't help but laugh, while others were left horrified. But James, ever the professional, had a plan. He announced that he had obtained CCTV footage and was determined to find the culprit responsible for this unsanitary act.
And this is where it gets interesting...
The VIP suite, a recent addition launched in November 2024, offers more than just a bird's-eye view of the match. Guests can enjoy unlimited Guinness and exclusive interviews with rugby stars post-game. But with such an exclusive experience, one would expect a certain level of decorum.
James and Joe's representatives have been contacted for comment, but the search for the culprit continues.
A Side Note on Salaries
In a separate twist, Joe Marler has revealed that he was paid less than some of his co-stars on Celebrity Traitors, despite initial claims that all cast members received the same fee.
It seems that even in the world of reality TV, salary negotiations can be a tricky business. While it was believed that the BBC show offered a flat fee of £40,000 to all participants, Joe, who made it to the final as a Faithful, received a different amount.
His wife, Daisy, even questioned the discrepancy, asking if he had only received £30,000. Joe confirmed this, adding that he wasn't bothered by the difference, as the amount was still significant regardless of how long one lasted in the competition.
And this is the part most people miss: the show's winner, Alan Carr, took home the entire £87,500 prize pot as the sole traitor who avoided banishment. The money was donated to Neuroblastoma UK, a worthy cause.
But here's where it gets controversial...
During an interview with The Times, Joe took a playful swipe at fellow faithful, Stephen Fry. He admitted that his initial game plan was to follow Stephen's lead, assuming his intelligence would be an asset. However, Joe soon realized that Stephen's strategy wasn't as foolproof as he had hoped.
