Fans of Mark Labbett were left tittering after The Chase star shared an image highlighting his impressive weight loss.

And although The Beast is proud of his healthier lifestyle, he still enjoys a roast dinner… particularly at his much-loved Toby Carvery pubs.

Mark shared how he had enjoyed eating out with presenter Emma Louise Jones.
Posting a snap of them both to Twitter, he joked in the caption: “Having a @tobycarvery at Barnsley with superstar presenter @eljonesuk. She ate more than me but wimped out of the pudding :(.”

He tweeted: “I had the fruit crumble, it was absolutely divine!”

But what happened to Mark’s arm?
However, among the congratulations, many of those replying to Mark were completely tickled by another aspect of the photo.
That’s because the angle of Emma’s selfie made it appear that Mark’s left arm – presumably tucked behind his back – was missing.
Many amused onlookers wondered about whether Mark was dropping weight in unusual ways.
