The Chase star Mark Labbett and girlfriend Hayley Palmer take HUGE step in their relationship after nearly a year dating
THE CHASE star Mark Labbett and girlfriend Hayley Palmer have taken a huge step in their whirlwind romance.
The quiz pro and TV presenter Hayley have come up with the perfect formula to allow fans into their everyday lives.
Mark aka The Beast and Good Morning Britain regular Hayley, 41, are teaming up to host a podcast.
A source told The Sun: “Hayley and Mark are stronger than ever, and they’re keen to invite fans into their relationship like never before.
“While they’re both super busy with their TV careers, they’ve decided to put some time aside each week to record their very own podcast - which is sure to give Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch a run for their money!"
“They’ll cover everything from Mark wooing Hayley with his Toby Carvery card to dating in the public eye, shopping trips, their big rule of not sharing chips and hilarious inside jokes.

“The two of them are excited to spend some quality time together over the festive period and will get to work on their new project in the New Year.”
Earlier this year the couple revealed that it was food that brought them together.
The pair have dated for nearly a year and Mark first impressed Hayley at the National Television Awards in February with his Toby Carvery Gold Card, which allows celebrities to eat free at the roast dinners chain.
On their first theatre date he bought Maltesers — her favourite choccy treat.

They headed on holiday to America together because they managed to be more private there.
Hayley told The Sun earlier this year: "When we were in LA he took me shopping and bought me a bag, which was lovely.
“We also got his and hers face creams and had our names engraved on the jars.”
And Mark’s geeky side does not bother her one bit.
Hayley said: “He’s always coming out with facts, but he switches off from it.
“When we were away, he’d be like, ‘I’m going to go on my iPad’, and I’d be like, ‘Cool, I’m going to sunbathe’.
“But he doesn’t spend all his time swotting.”
On their romance, TV star Hayley added: “He’s the sweetest, kindest person, he really is. He’s such a gentleman.”
He split from his wife Katie, 30, mum of his five-year-old son Lawrence, during the pandemic in 2020 and was then struck with a bout of Covid.
