The Chase’s Mark Labbett looked more loved up than ever as he posed up a storm with his presenter girlfriend Hayley Palmer for their one-year-anniversary.
The happy couple, who first started dating in May last year, were all smiles as they soaked up the sun on the golden sands of a gorgeous beach. Hayley, 41, looked effortlessly chic in a cream shirt dress which celebrated her hourglass curves as she cinched in her waist with a leather belt.
She elevated the look with a pair of white trainers as she shared a loving embrace with the pro quizzer. The broadcaster styled her golden tresses into loose beachy waves as she flashed her pearly whites to the camera.

Meanwhile The Beast opted for a pair of black jeans while he teamed with a grey hoodie which he layered over a blue T-shirt. He captioned the post: “One Year Anniversary. Same beach, same bench :).”

It’s fair to say he looked trimmer than ever after shedding an impressive 10 stone without going under the knife. The quiz champion admitted he lost his appetite after he contracted Covid, and now often struggles to finish a meal.
During an appearance on Good Morning Britain, the quizzer denied undergoing weight loss. Host Susanna Reid asked: “How did you do it?” to which he quickly replied: “Not with a gasrtic band. I’m not too sure how.
“I weighed myself the other day and I was just under 19 stone and at my heaviest, I was just a shade under 185 kilos – 29 stone. Essentially, I’ve been carrying a sack of coal on my back all these years.

“During the pandemic, I was looking after my little boy and I really began to admire people who are full-time looking after young children. I don’t know how I did it, but I was lucky, and after one of the bouts of Covid my appetite went away and never really came back.
“Hayley will agree that even now I struggle to finish a meal.” Mark now regularly goes to the gym with Hayley to tone up, and he’s already started seeing the results.
He confessed: “I used to gym a lot and you might be able to tell from these shoulders that I could bench press my own body weight. So I’ve always been a strong boy, I was just a fat boy. I was in the 1985 Oxford shotput champion.”

His loving partner has been supporting him throughout his jaw-dropping weight loss. Earlier this year, Hayley posted a clip of Mark out on a treadmill and elliptical, before he stepped on the scales.
Alongside the video, she gushed: “I’m so proud of @markthebeatlabbett. He started to come to the gym with me in the mornings and he is doing so well. He is down to 124 kilos/ 19.5 stone. We’re planning to tone and improving conditioning.”
