Who is on The Jonathan Ross Show tonight as host set for Celebrity Traitors reunion
Joe Marler leads the all-star cast
Jonathan Ross is all set for a Celebrity Traitors reunion tonight (March 28) but who else is on his chat show this weekend?
Pushed back once again to 10pm, thanks to ITV’s new Celebrity Sabotage, The Jonathan Ross Show promises to be a rib-tickler this week, with not one but three comedians taking to the mustard-yellow sofa.

Meanwhile, Jonathan is reunited with the ultimate Faithful – Celebrity Traitors star Joe Marler.
“I had so much fun, mate,” he tells Jonathan. “I’ve sort of realised that out of all of the cast that was part of it, I probably have milked it hard, haven’t I? It has changed my life, to be fair. I’m just trying to ride that wave for as long as I can, until what my wife says will happen: ‘Make hay while the sun shines, you’ll soon become irrelevant and/or cancelled.’ She’s a real grounder for me.”
Joe also reveals he chose doing Celebrity Traitors – which starts filming for season 2 soon – over finishing his rugby contract: “The Traitors came up as an opportunity to do. It was during my last year of contract, so I had to make a decision.… It worked out.”
Perhaps it was for the best, as Joe also reveals a couple of awful injuries during his playing career. And one of them left him forgetting that he even has kids. Joe is dad to four children – Jasper, Maggie, Felix and Pixie – with wife Daisy.

‘I’d completely forgotten that I had kids’
“I wasn’t very good at the actual sport. I was half decent, I was world class at making other people [bleep] at it. Just taking them down. They are concentrating on being good, I’m there winding them up, undoing laces, singing, trash talk,” he tells JR.
“It wasn’t until the last couple of years in my career [I’d think], I’d quite like to be around, be fit and well to have a kick about outdoors [with my kids], jump on the trampoline without prolapsing. It was dangerous. The moment you start thinking about it – I started thinking about it towards the end – is the moment you start getting injured more.
“The concussions were bad for me. I remember tackling this big unit… then I woke up in the physio room.”
He goes on to explain that the kit man walked in and asked if Joe’s kids were at the game and Joe explains: “I said: ‘What kids?’ I went: ‘What? I’ve got kids?’ I just started bawling my eyes out. I’d completely forgotten that I had kids.
“It’s far safer than it was before and they do a lot to stay on top of it.”
