The Chase star Mark Labbett shares details of split from wife and cousin Katie
16.05.2022 - 16:31 / dailyrecord.co.uk
The Chase brainbox Mark Labbett has revealed he is currently single, after splitting from his wife and cousin two years ago.
Mark, 56, tied the knot with his second cousin, Katie, 29, in October 2014 before calling it quits on their romance during the pandemic.

"I’m single now. We are separated but we get on really well, we co-parent," the quiz genius added when chatting with The Sun.
"I promised to look after her and I promised to look after my kid."
The former couple first met via Facebook in 2010 - with Katie claiming at the time she had no idea her future husband was a TV star.
"I had never heard of Mark, or watched The Chase, but my gran mentioned him so I was intrigued," the mum-of-one explained.
The pair hit it off in 2012, after Mark invited Katie to watch a celebrity Chase special being filmed and going out for drinks.
Mark and Katie’s dads are first cousins - making the former couple second cousins - but both have always maintained they had no idea they were related until after their fairytale castle wedding.
"It wasn't something we were aware of at the time - it was one of those things that happened," Mark has previously stated during a joint chat with the Loose Women ladies prior to their eventual split.
"I had been a single man for
