Mark Labbett lost a lot of weight since splitting from his cheating wife, Katie, in May.
The “chaser” on the ITV game show “The Chase” has shown off his slim figure after sharing that he has been trying to save his marriage and giving Katie a second chance.
Also known as “The Beast,” Labbett weighed more than 374 pounds; however, he gave details about how his body transformed through a series of tweets.
Labbett tweeted, “#thechase lost four inches off my chest and six inches off my belly in last six months. So they have bought me a new suit for the show. First target achieved.”
Mentioning former Emmerdale star Lisa Riley, which lost 155 pounds, Labbett said, “@Reallisariley I am not at your level yet but in last six months dropped 2.5 stones, four inches off chest and six inches off stomach.”
Lisa responded, “Mark that’s FANTASTIC … and now you keep strong and keep going. With ZERO pressure doing it at your own pace, this is for YOU and nobody else CHAMPION, I’m crazy proud of you @MarkLabbett.”
The British television personality has recently posted a photo in which he looks much slimmer than ever.
Previously, Labbett revealed that he turned down “I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!” in 2016 because he thought that the basic diet of rice and beans would not be substantial enough for him. He jokingly said that he would probably munch on his fellow campmates in order to live.
Labbett said, “I’ve been asked to do the jungle but the base calorie intake is about 700. Look at me! If I survived a week, I’d drop three stone and cannibalism would be on the cards.”
“On Sugar Free Farm the weight fell off me because I couldn’t eat enough. Does ‘The Chase’ need me big? Put it this way, whenever I start losing weight because I’m doing a fitness kick of whatever, the producers go past me and hand me a second portion of pudding,” he added. The Beast also explained that he had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and had lost around 28 pounds.
