Mark Labbett, also known as “The Beast” from the popular show The Chase, recently shared how he is dealing with his breakup from girlfriend Hayley Palmer. The couple split last month after a year of dating, and Labbett is focusing on his health and fitness to cope with the heartbreak.
Taking to social media, Labbett posted pictures of himself enjoying a bowl of soup at a restaurant with his son. He mentioned that he is committed to a summer of “pain”, focusing on gym workouts and nutrition. Despite the breakup, Labbett seemed optimistic and happy, referring to himself as The Beast.
Last year, fans were shocked when Labbett revealed his impressive 64kg weight loss. While he considered surgery, he decided to take the “old-fashioned way” approach to getting in shape. Labbett acknowledged his sweet tooth and the impact of sugar on his health, opting for a healthier lifestyle with diet and exercise instead of a gastric band.
The breakup with Palmer was announced by her on Instagram, where she expressed well wishes for Labbett’s future. Although the reason for the split was not disclosed, sources close to Labbett mentioned that the 14-year age gap between the couple and their differing lifestyles contributed to the decision to part ways. While Palmer enjoyed social events and parties, Labbett preferred a more low-key lifestyle.
Labbett’s previous marriage to Katie Labbett also ended in separation due to various issues, including cheating rumors and the revelation that they were second cousins. Despite these challenges, Labbett remains focused on his health and fitness as he navigates the aftermath of his recent breakup.
As Labbett continues his journey towards better health and well-being, fans are supportive of his positive attitude and determination to overcome heartbreak through his commitment to fitness. By sharing his story and progress on social media, Labbett inspires others to prioritize self-care and healthy habits during difficult times.
