Joe Marler’s Back in Hot Water: A Banter Gone Wrong!
Former England rugby star Joe Marler is no stranger to controversy, and his quick wit has landed him in hot trouble yet again! During his rugby days, Marler dropped a shocking remark calling an opponent’s mum a ‘w***e’ on the pitch, leaving his wife, Daisy, absolutely fuming. She wasn’t having it, telling him flat out, “you’re a moron!” Talk about keeping it real, right?
This isn’t Marler’s first rodeo with making headlines for his bold comments. Remember the ‘Gypsy Boy’ scandal during the 2016 Six Nations? Yep, he called Welsh prop Samson Lee out, earning himself a suspension and a hefty fine. Despite the backlash, Marler seems to be on a journey of discovering the art of apology. After offending Bristol Bears flanker Jake Heenan, whose mum was battling cancer at the time (something Marler didn’t know), Marler got a six-week ban. However, true to Marler style, he offered an earnest apology on his podcast to everyone involved.
As he steps onto mainstream TV with appearances like “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire”, Marler admits he’s working on his spicy tongue. But don’t expect him on the dance floor anytime soon; “Strictly Come Dancing” isn’t on his playlist!
Who knows what’s next for Marler? Perhaps a charity boxing match with Samson Lee? After all, Lee did cheekily suggest it, and Marler seemed game – post-retirement, of course!
Let’s see how the colourful career of Joe Marler unfolds. Will he master the art of keeping his cool, or will his cheeky antics take centre stage once more? Stay tuned!
