The Chase Mark Labbett's 'heartbreak' as he and girlfriend go separate ways

The Chase's Mark Labbett was emotional as he said goodbye to his girlfriend Hayley Palmer.

Mark, also known as The Beast, shared a sweet message to Hayley, who presents Sky TV shows such as At Home with Hayley, on Instagram this weekend. The two TV stars have been in Los Angeles in recent weeks as Mark filmed a US show.

But Hayley has now flown back to the UK, leaving Mark "heartbroken".

In a post on Sunday, Mark, 57, said: "It was Hayley's last day today. Missing her already," followed by a broken heart emoji, Birmingham Live reports.

Hayley, 41, has spoken about their relationship with Mail Online and said the Beast impressed during an 80s quiz on the show. However, she truly fell for him when she caught a glimpse of his Toby Carvery gold card.

Hayley has since taken to Instagram and shared a screenshot of the article with the caption: "To confirm yes Mark has a Toby Carvery Gold Card and I'm trying to get my hands on it."

Mark is dad to a six-year-old boy from a previous relationship with his ex-wife, Katie. He previously told the Mirror, about how he prioritises his busy schedule.

He said in May: "I’m on the road so much, plus the little matter of a six-year-old boy that I co-parent with, so I try to spend as much time as I can with him. I’m going out to film in America next month, and I’m already planning what I’m doing in July and August with Katie to see what weeks work.

"Having said that, I have just been studying NBA basketball because I’m going out to America I want them going ‘for a Brit he knows about this stuff’, plus I used to play basketball being 6ft 6, 6ft 7, you’d expect I play basketball."
