ITV The Chase's Mark Labbett opens up about split from ex-wife who was also second cousin

Mark Labbett from The Chase says he's "too busy" for a relationship at the moment - but still looks out for ex-wife Katie two years after the couple went their separate ways. Mark, 56, tied the knot with Katie - who is his second cousin - back in 2014 and the couple welcomed a baby son four years later.

But after seven years of marriage, the couple called it quits in 2020, blaming the Covid-19 lockdowns and their 27-year age-gap for the reasons why their relationship wasn't meant to be.

Whilst Mark - known by many as The Beast - remains single, Katie has moved on with new partner Scott - though Mark is still involved in her life and the life of their son, reported The Mirror.
