James Tarkowski, an Everton defender, stirred up controversy on social media when a preview for a new reality show went viral.
WHAT HAPPENED?
In the trailer for the upcoming series Married To The Game, which was released by Amazon Prime, the unwavering center back was seen flirting with his wife Samantha at a summer party. “Everyone looks so gorgeous,” Samantha remarked, to which the Everton star responded, “Especially you.”
Soon after, the video had almost ten million views, and the supporters of the other team were, as was to be expected, harsh.
WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING
On X, @clarkey85steve joked, “Everton deserve another 10 points deduction for that trailer alone.”
@lukehayles added another joke, writing, “Was just saying to the lads down the pub that I was desperate for James Tarkowski to be on a reality dating show.”
“It was a smooth line until he followed it up and the awkward laugh,” @fpldodge said in his analysis.
“Tarkowski being a love island bombshell wasn’t on my 2024 bingo card,” tweeted @Danthedon1878 in the meanwhile.
“James Tarkowski becoming a reality TV star is definitely top of the list of surprising turn of events this morning,” the Unholy Trinity Everton Podcast said.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Footballer’s Wives, an ITV hit show that ran from 2002 to 2006, was formerly the dominant fictional representation of football players and their partners on television. However, some players and their partners have been included in the shift to reality-based television; a number of them can be seen in The Real Housewives of Cheshire, a series set in the region well-known for being home to football players who play in the northwest of England.
Married To The Game will also include the partners of Jorginho, Ilkay Gundogan, Riyad Mahrez, and USMNT goalie Matt Turner in addition to the recently married Tarkowskis..
WHAT NEXT FOR EVERTON?
Supporters of the Toffees are anxiously anticipating the decision in the club’s appeal against the 10-point deduction, which is anticipated to be rendered soon. Tarkowski, meanwhile, is likely to receive a lot of criticism from his teammates for his appearances on reality television when he plays for Everton against Brighton on Saturday.
