On November 12, 2025, TV chef James Martin and rugby star Joe Marler hosted a high-end hospitality suite at the Allianz Stadium in Twickenham for England's match against New Zealand. The £1,250-a-ticket event, which included a four-course menu and unlimited Guinness, was meant to be a celebratory occasion for the hosts and their guests.
However, the mood quickly turned sour when Martin announced that someone had defecated in the VIP lift of the suite. According to reports, the chef appeared "shell-shocked" as he revealed the unpleasant discovery, initially joking that his co-host Marler was the main suspect before stating that he had been handed CCTV footage and would find the culprit.
The incident has left the duo, who launched the hospitality suite in November 2024, hunting down the rugby fan responsible for the unsavory stunt. Despite the shocking turn of events, the event was still a success, with England securing a historic 33-19 victory over the All Blacks.
