Mark Labbett has slimmed down again in a new picture as he showed off his incredible weight loss.

The Chase star, also known as The Beast, posed for a selfie on Instagram wearing a navy-blue suit and light pink shirt as fans praised him on how slim he was looking.

The quizmaster, 57, has spoken publicly about his dramatic lifestyle change that lead him to shedding an impressive amount of weight - and people were quick to congratulate him again this time.

One commenter said: "You look amazing, what's your secret?". While another congratulated him, saying: "Wow!!! You've lost some weight! Well done Mark", along with a clapping emoji.

Mark first appeared on the ITV quiz show back in 2009. Over the years, he's been open about his weight loss journey that hit its peak during lockdown in 2020.

Back in 2003 when he was a full-time teacher, Mark was at his heaviest weight of 29 stone.

After being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2016, he was forced to undergo some drastic lifestyle changes to stop his health from deteriorating further.

So, thanks to a healthier diet and improved exercise regime, he's since dropped a whopping 10 stone.

He's now the "smallest" he's been in 30 years after shedding around 64kg, still standing tall at 6 ft 6.

The Chase star really started shedding the pounds during the first Covid lockdown in 2020.

He'd managed to drop around three stone in the years running up to it, but when the nurseries shut and he had to chase around his "hyperactive" toddler for weeks on end, even more weight started to come off.

Speaking to the Loose Women panel last year, he explained: "I found at the end of the evening instead of going to the fridge for late night snacking, all I could do was collapse on the bed."
