Celebrity Traitors star Joe Marler has issued a warning to the cast who will sign up for Series 2.

Last year, the former rugby player appeared on the first series alongside the likes of Paloma Faith, Kate Garraway, Jonathan Ross and Cat Burns.

He played as a Faithful throughout and reached the finale. However, he was banished before the final reveal, where Alan won the game as a Traitor.

Celebrity Traitors star Joe Marler warns Series 2 cast

While speaking to Metro, Joe, 35, said people have reached out to him ahead of the new series.

“Without naming names, people have reached out to me for advice,” he said, while declaring he is unaware of who will be going in, explaining he is “excited to see who is”.

His key advice is for the celebs to not be too full up by the time they reach breakfast.

“Don’t eat too much breakfast in your own lodgings before going down to another breakfast. I put on eight kilos doing it. So I said, just be careful what you’re eating in there,” he warned.

Despite the tense roundtables, Joe also reminded everyone that it is important to remember “it’s just a game”.

“The round tables are intense,” he explained, adding: “Just the whole nature of it is quite daunting, and a lot of people thought, ‘Oh, you’ve gone after Jonathan or Alan. It’s a bit spikey.'”

Joe continued: “None of this is a genuine personal attack or anything like that. It’s just a game.”
