As an ardent fan, I can’t help but be in awe of Mark Labbett’s incredible transformation and his heartwarming co-parenting journey with Katie. It’s truly inspiring to see how he’s taken control of his health, losing an impressive 10 stones! The man, once known as ‘The Beast’, is now a testament to the power of discipline and determination.


On a delightful family outing last Sunday, Mark Labbett and his former spouse, Katie, appeared strikingly different due to their remarkable makeovers that left everyone astonished.

In 2020, after seven years of being married, the trivia whiz (aged 59) and the nurse (aged 32) parted ways. They have a shared seven-year-old son named Lawrence.

The ex-partners have successfully shared parenting responsibilities, regularly spending time together as a family of three in London over the weekend.

On Sunday, they brought Lawrence to the Natural History Museum and snapped a picture with him, looking even more stunning than before.

Mark appeared significantly slimmer in his gray sweater, following his impressive weight loss of approximately 154 pounds on The Chase.

I’ve always been passionate about sharing my journey, and let me tell you, I’ve shed those pounds by cutting back on my meals and increasing my fluid intake, all while keeping a close eye on my wellbeing.

He shared that he altered his eating habits because of his struggle with diabetes, mentioning that despite being enticed by surgery, he opted for the traditional route and focused on getting physically fit and healthy.

As Katie adorned herself in a stylish burgundy turtleneck and sleek black leather skirt, accentuating her slender waistline.

In a new post on Instagram Stories, Mark shared: ‘Second installment of co-parenting in London – a visit to the Natural History Museum. Our little one was thrilled by the T-Rex sporting a holiday sweater!’

On Saturday, Lawrence was given a special day trip by his former partners to explore the Harry Potter Warner Bros. Studio Tour in London.

On the ITV1 show, Mark, affectionately called “The Beast,” experienced deep sorrow as his relationship with Katie, a relative and his second cousin, ended after she was involved with Scott Bate for approximately 18 months.

Instead of attributing the end of their marriage to these factors, they pointed out that the lockdown, mental health issues, and a significant age gap were the reasons for its dissolution.

After dating Hayley Palmer for a while, he later disclosed that they parted ways in May, only a few days following their first anniversary.

Last week, Mark revealed the heartbreaking reason he and Hayley split, after she claimed he dumped her because he ‘didn’t want to divorce his ex-wife’.

Yet, he confessed that the reason was simply his age, explaining to The Sun, “Hayley is a wonderful woman, and I feel fortunate to have dated her for a year. As I mentioned earlier, it’s about me, and I grew older.

Following Hayley expressing her discomfort at the thought of Mark being with another woman, the clever one asserted that he is not currently involved in a romantic relationship.

He stated: “No one has come along like Hayley since then, and let me clarify, I’m not anticipating another one. At the moment, I have no intention of searching.

‘I joke I am a shed man – a guy of a certain age that’s quite content being in or out of a relationship – but loves to be spending time on their own.’

This month, Hayley admitted that contemplating Mark with someone else stirred up old feelings, as she had an open conversation six months post their separation.

Hayley confessed that she had to switch the TV channel due to her discomfort after seeing him on Loose Women, as she acknowledged that it brought up difficult feelings for her.

To TopMob, Hayley admitted: “Seeing him appear on my screen left me quite distressed, and I ended up changing positions. I hadn’t anticipated it would affect me so strongly.

The last time we were together, I was seated next to him. We were discussing our upcoming one-year anniversary. Exactly a week afterward, everything fell apart for me. Reflecting on him now stirs up those painful memories once more.

Hayley clarified that she was surprised by the intensity of her emotions, as she added: ‘It set me off. I hadn’t expected it given how far I’ve come with my mental approach and overall well-being.’
