The Chase star Mark Labbett has apologised after a recent defeat saw him storm off the show, with the quizzer saying he was struggling with his mental health. Chaser Mark, who’s known as The Beast on the quiz show, lost out to a team of contestants who took home a jackpot of £21,000However, viewers were shocked when he said: ‘Well played guys, you deserve it – I’m off,’ before storming off the set and punching the wall on the way out. A stunned Bradley Walsh said: ‘I apologise to all the kids watching.

That’s not how you should take defeat. You should take it magnanimously and humbly. ’Tweeting after the episode aired, Mark, 56, said: ‘Apologies to those of you disappointed with my behaviour tonight.

‘My mental health was shot before that game, it was storm off or break down in tears. A remorseless diet of quality opponents didn’t help #thechase. ’He was supported by fellow Chaser Paul Sinha, as well as fans of the show.

Paul, who’s also known as The Sinnerman on the quiz series, said: ‘You should never have to apologise for the crime of “being human”. I’d have been nowhere on those questions,’ with Mark responding: ‘Thanks bud. ’One fan said: ‘You do not need to apologise for being a human and experiencing emotions.

For my entire 24 years of life, that’s all I’ve done – and it doesn’t make it any better, it just makes you feel more guilty. Thank you for acknowledging it, but don’t apologise. ’Another added: ‘Mental health is the hardest thing for any individual to control.

You were a superb teacher and are a great quizzer and tv personality. We all have bad days chin up mate. You will get through it and come out stronger.
