The Chase fans have praised Mark Labbett for his slim appearance after the quizzer shared a selfie from the set of the ITV game show. The Beast, as he is better known, shared a snap with fellow 'chaser' Shaun 'The Dark Destroyer' Wallace on Instagram as he warned fans about a fake account impersonating him on the social media platform.
Mark's nickname is in part a reference to his imposing stature, standing at around 6ft 6in and having previously worn 5XL clothing. He has slimmed down in recent years and now has a more slender frame after shedding a remarkable 10-stone, reported The Mirror.
And many fans were more focussed on the 57-year-old's appearance than his imposter warning in his latest Instagram post. Alongside the selfie with Shaun, Mark wrote: "There is a fake account out there #markthebeastlabett who unfortunately cannot even spell my surname correctly :(".
