The Chase Mark ‘The Beast’ Labbett looks slimmer than ever as he celebrates his birthday with girlfriend Hayley
THE Chase brainbox Mark Labbett revealed his slimmer-than-ever figure – before tucking into a huge birthday cake.
The ITV star, 58, previously explained during an appearance on Loose Women that he had shed ten stone.
Mark weighed 29 stone at his heaviest, but after a serious health scare, following a type 2 diabetes diagnosis, he completely changed his life and started his healthy weight loss journey.
The Chase favourite went on to reduce his sugar intake – yet is clearly now enjoying a much-deserved treat day on his birthday.
Mark looked delighted when he was presented with a huge slice of Red Velvet cake by partner Hayley Palmer.
In a video re-posted to his Instagram page, he is seen in a black top sitting at in a restaurant, preparing to devour the dessert.
The treat was adorned with a single caption and Hayley joked in the caption: “Trying to keep his birthday low key.
“I’m not having it!”
Prior to the sweet treat, Mark had tucked into a plate of bangers and mash.
The telly star has been candid in addressing his recent lifestyle overhaul.
Mark has also used his golden retriever Baloo, who he dubbed his “personal trainer”, to help him exercise and keep fit.
Recently, Mark revealed the surprising side-effect of his weight loss.
While on GB News with girlfriend Hayley, the father-of-one revealed that his meal sizes have reduced significantly since his weight loss.
Mark said he now struggles to finish a roast dinner and “eats a fraction” of what he used to.
Mark and Hayley met last year at the National Television Awards but only went public with their romance recently following Mark’s split with his wife, Katie, two years ago.
The Sun recently revealed how the pair enjoyed a luxury spa weekend where Mark wrapped up his new figure in a fluffy robe.
The brain-box was celebrated for his size on the ITV quiz show, The Chase and earned his name, ‘The Beast’ and quickly became a fan favourite.
When asked how he lost the weight, the TV star said: “It was a combination of so many things Covid etc. I had it a couple of times, which suppressed the appetite.
“My [ex] wife was working at the local hospital, which meant I was looking after our son, and you suddenly realise how tough it is.
“I’m just not that hungry anymore.”
