The Chase’s Mark “The Beast” Labbett looks slimmer than ever as he poses for a selfie one night after losing ten pounds
Mark Labbett looked slimmer than ever as he posed for a selfie on a night out on Wednesday.
The 57-year-old Chaser, known as “The Beast,” has opened up about his weight loss and how he lost 20 pounds.
He showed off his slimmed face in a snap with ITV presenter Hayley Palmer as they played darts at Boom Battle Bar and Hayley claimed victory in the match.
Mark looked stunning as he showed off his new look to fans and seemed to have a blast on his evening.
However, after his incredible weight loss, he recently had to turn down weight loss surgery.

Before: In January last year, Mark announced that he had lost 10 kilos (pictured before the weight loss in 2018)
The ITV quiz show favorite revealed that while he was tempted to go under the knife, he instead opted to get fit and healthy the old-fashioned way.
Speaking to The Sun, the 57-year-old said: “I’m not really trying to diet, I’m just being sensible. People say you had the gastric sleeve or gastric band and I didn’t.”
“I was tempted by the gastric band, but a good friend of mine who is a GP said my problem was sugar, I have a sweet tooth.”
“Gas banding is useless to me because sugar metabolizes pretty quickly, so I did it the old-fashioned way of eating a little less and trying to go to the gym.”
A gastric band is a band that goes around the stomach, forming a small pouch at the top that requires less food to fill.
During the conversation, he went on to reveal that he can’t eat as much as he used to and has “problems” with eating his favorite roast.
Mark recently announced he is single after splitting from wife Katie in 2020.
He and Hayley have been close for some time and have performed together at events – Hayley interviewed him back in February.

Results: This comes after Mark shared a shirtless pic of himself flaunting his weight loss in January
He flaunted his weight loss during an appearance on Loose Women in November.
The TV personality flaunted his slim figure in a purple shirt and blazer as he sat on the podium.
In January 2022, Mar shared on Twitter that he had gone from size 5xl to 2xl – and has apparently lost even more weight since then.
He revealed how he lost the pounds, saying he’s been “eating less and drinking more” and focusing on his health.
He said he completely changed his diet due to battling diabetes and said it helped his weight loss.
“I think maybe the diabetes helped because I’m eating a lot less.” “I’m drinking a lot more fluids,” he said of his weight loss.
“And looking after a five-year-old during lockdown hasn’t helped.” How many times have I broken down! Also, I’m so busy these days,” he added.
