The Chase’s Mark ‘The Beast’ Labbett wows fans with five stone weight loss as he shows off loose trousers
THE CHASE'S Mark 'The Beast' Labbett wowed fans as he showed off his five-stone weight loss by posing in a pair of loose trousers.
The 55-year-old star proudly took to his Instagram page this evening to share the impressive before-and-after images.
In the first snap, the quizzing pro looked bigger as he posed on the red carpet at an awards show in 2019.
The second image is a mirror selfie, with Mark posing in the same outfit as he pulled at his unbuckled trouser waistband to highlight the difference.
In the post's caption, the TV favourite credited a meal planning company who deliver healthy grub to his door so that he stays on track.
Mark added: "Very proud of my progress since following my @mfgoalgettersuk plan."
His followers were blown away, with one commenting: "You’re looking great Mark and doing so well."
Another added: "You look amazing. Well done!"
A third agreed: "Looking good. Well done for inspiring others."
The star has been steadily losing weight for years, and has so far lost a total of five stone.
At his heaviest, the 6ft 6ins star weighed 378lbs - which is 27 stone.
He recently revealed that he has managed to get his weight below 23 stone, and he hopes to drop even more so that his BMI is less than 30.
At the start of his weight loss journey, Mark revealed that he'd been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes after eating up to 10 bars of chocolate in a day.
He said at the time: "I’m not going to complain. I’ve done the crime so I’ll do the time.”
The star also previously revealed that he was forced to turn 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.
