The Chase star Mark Labbett shows off weight loss transformation in pouting selfie

Known as The Beast on ITV1 gameshow The Chase, Mark Labbett often impresses viewers with his sharp wit on the show and has now revealed his weight loss. In a new selfie, alongside fellow The Chase co-star Shaun Wallace, Mark's weight loss was very obvious.

The ITV favourite has managed to shift 10-stone since making the decision to embark on a healthier and more active lifestyle. Mark, 57, shared a photo with his 39,800 Instagram followers which saw him posing alongside his on-screen pal and fellow 'Chaser', Shaun 'The Dark Destroyer' Wallace.

The pair both donned casual looks - compared to their usual sharp suited-and-booted 'Chaser' look that they wear for the show - in the behind-the-scenes snap, with Shaun pointing at 'The Beast' in the photo. And whilst the caption of the sweet snap described a "fake account" that has been made based on Mark's profile, it was the TV star's amazing weight loss transformation that had fans pausing to comment.

One follower said: "Looking very chiselled there Beasty!" while another added: "Could slice potatoes on those jawbones". A third said: "You look incredible huge congratulations on your weight loss" as OK! reports.

The father-of-one, who shares three-year-old son Lawrence with ex-wife Katie, has featured as a regular quizzing champion on the 5pm competition programme since its inception in June 2009, with 15 series' now under his belt. Mark - who was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2017 after a nurse spotted how easily he had bruised his legs after a football game - has regularly kept his fans in the loop regarding his weight loss journey, taking to Instagram to show off his progress.
