He has become a fan favourite on The Chase, but how has he lost weight?
How much weight has Mark Labbett lost?
Mark has revealed he lost an incredible ten stone.
The TV star weighed 378lbs at his heaviest, but detailed in a series of tweets how his body had transformed.
The 6ft 6ins height and thinner body is plain to see as he shares transformation photos.
How did Mark Labbett lose weight?
Mark has shed the pounds through diet and exercise.
In 2019 he shared: “#thechase lost four inches off my chest and six inches off my belly in last six months. So they have bought me a new suit for the show. First target achieved (sic)”.
Mark then mentioned former Emmerdale star Lisa Riley – who has lost 11 stone – saying: “@Reallisariley I am not at your level yet but in last six months dropped 2.5 stones, four inches off chest and six inches off stomach (sic)”.
Congratulating him on reaching his target, Lisa wrote back: “Mark that’s FANTATSIC…and now you keep strong and keep going. With ZERO pressure doing it at your own pace, this is for YOU and nobody else CHAMPION, I’m crazy proud of you @MarkLabbett (sic)”.
Mark previously revealed he turned down I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2016, because he didn’t think the basic diet of rice and beans would be substantial enough for him.
