Mark Labbett ‘not sure how’ he pulled off weight loss
The Chase star Mark “The Beast” Labbett admitted he doesn’t feel “hungry anymore” as he reflected on his weight loss journey.
The Chaser detailed his health change while on Channel 4’s Steph’s Packed Lunch, where he remarked on his shedding of 10 stone: “I’m not quite sure how I’ve done it.
“Obviously, [I’m a] Type 2 diabetic, so leading on from the previous one, slightly different.
“Obviously, I have the drugs that I have to take every day but that’s it. I’ve never had a diabetic episode.”
The 57-year-old continued: “But I think I’ve lost some weight when I got hit by what was likely Covid.
“When I got hit you had to be practically the Prime Minister to get a test back then…And the main thing, I’m just not hungry anymore!”
The Chase favourite has been updating fans on his weight loss journey on social media.
The Beast expressed his joy over a decrease in his clothing size recently as he tweeted: “Picking up my skinny suits sometime this week. DJ and two pieces, each 54 long jacket and 40/34 trousers.
“Will post photos when I get a chance to wear them at a gig #skinnybeast.”

He went on to add his “shirts [are] down from 22-inch collar to 18.5” and mentioned that his previous suits were “58 long and 46/34.”
Fans have congratulated the star of the ITV staple for his health kick.
On Instagram, Mark revealed doctors had advised him that a gastric bypass or band wouldn’t work on him because “the sugar would go straight through it”.
He has also revealed he removed the substance from his diet after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2016.
Mark has since decided to undergo significant lifestyle changes to prevent his health from deteriorating.
The quizzing expert also credited his dog, Baloo, with his weight loss as he explained his furry friend was his “personal trainer”.
The star still appears on The Chase after first joining when the programme premiered back in 2009.
Steph’s Packed Lunch airs weekdays from 12.30pm on Channel 4.
