The Chase's Mark Labbett's girlfriend reveals the exact moment she fell for The Beast

The Chase star Mark Labbett has been enjoying a romance with TV star Hayley Palmer, who has now revealed how she fell for the brainiac.

Mark and Hayley met at the National Television Awards in October of last year and instantly hit it off but there was one thing which instantly drew Hayley to Mark.

As their romance continues to blossom, the pair jetted to Los Angeles together where Mark is filming Master Minds for the Game Show Network.

Hayley, 41, has opened up about their relationship and admitted that one key detail saw her fall head over heels for the intelligent ITV star.

Mark, 57, is believed to have flashed his incredibly rare gold card for Toby Carvery which Hayley admits she's "trying to get her hands on!"

Reflecting on their relationship to the MailOnline, the loved-up couple said: "We are taking things really slowly, but this is the first time we've been able to do more than the odd date so it's been fantastic.

"We are getting on well and are happy."

The pair are believed to have found out that they enjoy one another's company and have been walking down the streets of Los Angeles hand in hand without being recognised.

Last month Mark opened up about his love life to the Mirror and admitted that he struggled to find time to take part in quizzes as his professional life suddenly became busier.

He said: "I'm on the road so much, plus the little matter of a six-year-old boy that I co-parent with, so I try to spend as much time as I can with him.

"I'm going out to film in America next month, and I'm already planning what I’m doing in July and August with Katie to see what weeks work."

He went on to say: "Having said that, I have just been studying NBA basketball because I'm going out to America I want them going 'for a Brit he knows about this stuff', plus I used to play basketball being 6ft 6, 6ft 7, you'd expect I play basketball."

Last month, Hayley shared a throwback snap of herself and Mark, alongside the caption: "#throwback The one time I'm not wearing heels and I meet the man I need heels for! @markthebeastlabbett (& I'm 5'11!).

"I'm really giving my heels collection a good workout these days. (Every woman will understand!)"

"They have been friends for some time and recently things developed into something more. Mark and Hayley share similar interests and have a lot of fun together. Mark and Hayley have kept things low key but this week they headed out on a day-date," a source previously told The Sun.
