Hayley then revealed she was "having the best time" as she got to know her man's loved ones.

More on Mark Labbett

In 2020 Mark, who is best know as quizmaster The Beast on ITV's The Chase, split from wife Katie, who he shares son Lawrence with.

He called time on the relationship with Katie - his second cousin - after discovering she'd been cheating on him with another man for more than a year.

Mark has also shown off a serious body overhaul in recent years, shedding an incredible 10 stone.

During a previous appearance on Loose Women, he said: "I am gradually dropping Xs off my size. I've gone from 5XL to 4XL and it looks like the next time I go shopping I'll be able to squeeze into XL underpants."

Mark also opened up about when he was at his biggest, admitting: "I've lost 10 stone, I was 29 stone when I was a full time teacher in 2003 and I was in danger of high blood pressure.

"I've been around 26 stone up until lockdown, and then a few things happened quite nicely and came together and I started losing weight."
