The Beast reveals how much he weighs as he shows off incredible transformation

The TV quizzer has undergone a dramatic transformation

Mark Labbett’s proud partner has revealed exactly how much The Chase star weighs as she shared a montage of him hitting the gym.

The 58-year-old quizzer has wowed his fans by showing his dramatic weight loss in recent months - with one fan commenting that he looked ‘completely different’ in a snap shared back in October.

Labbett - known as 'The Beast' on the ITV hit game show - has reportedly lost around 10 stone since embarking on his health kick back in 2020 after becoming ill with suspected coronavirus.

Speaking to The Sun in 2020, he said: "I got suspected Covid at the end of February, and got sent home from work, for the first time in 15 years, on Wednesday 27th. ITV were brilliant and took no chances.

"Because the testing capacity was so limited then, I never formally got a test but all I can say is that for two weeks I had complete loss of appetite, no sense of smell, a temperature, exhaustion and the worst fever of my life.”

He continued: "I basically didn't eat for two weeks but since then the weight has continued to drop off because I have continued to eat sensibly. I knew I had to.

"I am still losing weight and beginning to notice the difference in photos which, I can assure you, are not PhotoShopped!"

Last year, Labbett also revealed that he’d found love with TV presenter Hayley Palmer.

The loved-up TV personality has previously said he can’t quite believe his luck at landing such a glamorous girlfriend.

He told The Sun: “I mean, look at her.

“I keep finding myself going, ‘Hang on, we’re actually going out?’

“I don’t want to make her blush, but 15 years ago I was a maths teacher, I was 29 stone.

“I’m a very, very lucky man. I’ve got the job I was born to do and, in Hayley, someone to share it all with.” Ah, how cute, is that?

And it seems that Palmer is equally as proud of her other-half, as she recently shared a clip of him working hard in the gym as she heaped praise on him in the caption, while also sharing how much he weighs following his transformation.

Posting the clip to her Instagram Story, 42-year-old Palmer said: "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."
