VIP Lift Scandal Rocks Twickenham Rugby Event
England rugby star turned Celebrity Traitors contestant Joe Marler has launched an unusual investigation after a shocking incident disrupted his exclusive hospitality event at Twickenham Stadium. The 35-year-old athlete is determined to identify the individual responsible for defecating in a VIP lift during Saturday's prestigious rugby match between England and New Zealand.
Exclusive Event Tarnished by Unpleasant Discovery
The incident occurred during a premium hospitality experience co-hosted by Marler and television chef James Martin, where tickets cost an impressive £1,250 per person. The exclusive suite, which the duo launched in November 2024, offered guests unlimited Guinness, a four-course meal prepared by Martin himself, and post-match interviews with rugby legends including Warren Gatland.
According to sources speaking with The Sun, the unpleasant discovery was announced shortly after England's historic 33-19 victory over New Zealand. "England had just beaten New Zealand and everyone was on a massive high," revealed an insider. "Then, out of nowhere, James came on stage where Joe was chatting with rugby stars and he looked pretty shell-shocked."
CCTV Footage Fuels Investigation
Martin reportedly obtained CCTV footage capturing the lift incident and immediately shared the evidence with his co-host. Both celebrities have now vowed to track down the culprit responsible for what witnesses described as "an enormous poo" left in the VIP elevator.
The source continued: "He then told everyone in the suite that he had been handed the CCTV footage and is going to find out who had the audacity to drop a log in the lifts." Initial reactions among guests were mixed, with some finding humour in the situation while others appeared genuinely horrified by the breach of etiquette.
In a moment of lighthearted deflection, Martin initially joked that Marler might be responsible for the incident before confirming they had obtained visual evidence and were taking the matter seriously.
Marler's Detective Skills Put to Test
The incident comes shortly after Marler's recent appearance on Celebrity Traitors, where he was famously banished from the final by fellow contestant Nick Mohammed. The rugby star had described feeling "heartbroken" by his elimination from the BBC reality show, though he maintained affection for Mohammed despite the outcome.
Now Marler finds himself applying similar detective skills to a very different kind of mystery. The investigation remains ongoing as stadium authorities and the event hosts review available evidence to identify the individual responsible for the VIP lift contamination.
Representatives for both Joe Marler and James Martin have been contacted for official comment regarding the incident and their ongoing efforts to resolve the situation.
