The Chase’s Mark Labbett sparks dating rumours as he cosies up to ITV presenter AGAIN on trip to the beach

THE Chase's Mark Labbett has set tongues wagging after sharing another cosy photo with an ITV presenter.

The quiz master, 37, sparked dating rumours with the blonde beauty earlier this month.

On Tuesday he shared another snap with Hayley Palmer in the sunshine.

Mark penned over the top of his Instagram Story: "At Southsea. Oh I do like to be beside the seaside :) fish and chips followed by ice cream #simplepleasure @hayleypalmer_presenter"

The pair were spotted on another date playing electronic darts together last week, and Hayley was delighted to beat him.

Mark posted a snap alongside Hayley Palmer, and told his followers: “Always have Malteasers to hand. Great time @boombattlebar with Hayley.”

Mark, who is known as The Beast, recently revealed he's enjoying his single life and is in no rush to get into a relationship for one big reason.

The professional quizmaster, who split from his wife Katie back in 2020, said he's away from home 150 days each year filming for the ITV game show.

He admitted that he's "married to his work" and said it would be difficult to squeeze in a romantic relationship with his busy work schedule.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Mark said: "I’m single, I say I’m married to my work, this is the first time I’ve been out out in a while.

"Right now I’m really appreciating me time.

"I’ve just had two weeks off in the glamourous resort of Rotherham, where I’ve been staying in my flat and I can just put the sport on, watch the films I wanted to watch, play computer games, had a go even on FIFA and  I just loved it."

Mark has never looked better after shedding the pounds through diet and exercise alone.

He recently told us: "The last time I was in a pair of 38 jeans was 1989, so I’m feeling quite good about that.

"I think I’m down to 20 stone, I lost around 10 stone."
