ITV The Chase's Bradley Walsh shares Mark Labbett health concern

Concern was expressed for a key figure on popular quiz show, ITV The Chase. Host Bradley Walsh said he was concerned for Mark Labbett moments into a recent episode of the show.

The Beast appeared to be nursing a sore throat on Thursday's show, as he resumed his usual role of being in the way of four new quizzers on Thursday's show aiming to win a cash prize.

Liverpool Echo reports he said: "They love seeing me turn up. I'm on course for the world record of most different ones visited." However, Bradley was taken aback after the Beast's comment as he appeared to be nursing a sore throat.

He said: "You don't sound very well. What's up with you?" Mark didn't respond to the question and Emma navigated her way past him to book her spot in the Final Chase.

The show saw Emma, Jonathan, Khalid and Megan were aiming to outrun the Chaser and take home thousands.

Emma started off the show in style and earned £7,000 in her cash-builder. The Beast responded to a jibe made by the host in his introduction about being a fan of Gregg's.

It was a strong team on today's show as all the players progressed through to the last round and were competing for a grand total of £30,000. However, Mark was in imperious form and he caught their 18 steps with 37 seconds remaining.

It comes after Mark Labbett wowed fans with his 10-stone weight loss in recent months. In 2016 he says he was 'given a wake up call' after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and focussed on losing weight. He began ditching anything sugary and regularly exercising.
