Mark Labbett – who stars on The Chase – has had a couple of high-profile romances, from his marriage with his cousin to his relationship with TV star Hayley Palmer.
Here’s an inside look at the Beast’s love life…
The Chase star Mark Labbett and his marriage to second cousin Katie
Back in 2014, Mark tied the knot with Katie. They’d met two years prior when Mark had invited her to watch a recording of the celebrity edition of the show.
They got married in Arundel Cathedral in West Sussex.
During an interview with The Sun, Katie, who is 27 years younger than Mark, admitted she didn’t know who he was before they met.
“I had never heard of Mark or watched The Chase, but my gran mentioned him so I was intrigued,” she said.
It later emerged that the couple were in fact second cousins.
“It wasn’t something we were aware of at the time – it was one of those things that happened,” Mark admitted during an appearance on Loose Women.
