Mark Labbett looked slimmer and happier than ever as he enjoyed a dinner date with his new TV presenter ‘girlfriend’.
The 57-year-old, who shot to fame in 2009 when he appeared on the hit ITV show The Chase, is currently all loved-up with Hayley Palmer. And despite originally keeping their relationship low-key, it seems the two are now more than happy to let fans in on their new fling.
Mark Labbett dating new girlfriend Hayley
Mark faced heartache back in 2020 when he ended his seven-year marriage to his second cousin. The couple’s respective fathers are first cousins, but they apparently didn’t find this out right up until their wedding. The popular chaser and his ex-wife have a six-year-old son together. At the time, they cited their 27-year age gap and Covid lockdowns as factors contributing to their split.
But it appears he has since brushed his heartbreak off as reports have claimed he has found love again with TV star Hayley.
