Clare Balding tips rugby star Joe Marler for Hollywood after Celebrity Traitors performance

Transcript

00:00You know, I could see Joe Marla getting parts in films after this,

00:03you know, Guy Ritchie films or, you know, can you imagine?

00:06I mean, yeah, well, The Rock can't go on forever.

00:10And he's such a solid presence to be around.

00:14Like, you know, you can count on Joe and physically,

00:17obviously he's incredibly strong, but also I think mentally he's really,

00:22he's really got something.

00:24And I really admire him because he wasn't going to be swayed by other people

00:29thinking they were super intelligent and therefore that somehow he wasn't.

00:35It was, he knew what he knew.

00:38But listening to Joe, and it's so interesting because you think about it in,

00:43I was thinking about staff meetings and a lot of my friends are PE teachers

00:47and they find that, that they don't get listened to,

00:50whereas the history teacher or the English teacher or the head of science

00:53has a status that is quiet.

00:56So sport was low down in the kind of pecking order, really,

01:00in terms of what you bring to the party.

01:02And actually he was sitting back and he's observed brilliantly the whole time.

01:08He's really unnerved Alan as well.

01:10Alan can't read him.

01:11So that's been quite interesting because he's,

01:13sometimes Alan looks slightly offended by the stares that Joe can give,

01:17but Joe is just looking at people, observing,

01:19and making this alliance with Nick, which has been quite interesting for him.
