ITV The Chase's Mark Labbett's girlfriend taken aback as they take next step in relationship

Mark Labbett's girlfriend was taken aback as the couple took a big step in their relationship.

The Chase star is currently in a relationship with TV presenter, Hayley Palmer. The two met during an appearance on her Sky TV show, Saturday Night with Hayley Palmer.

The couple have been sharing regular updates from their blossoming relationship on social media since they first went public. Mark and Hayley jetted off on their first holiday to Los Angeles earlier this month as the quizzer travelled to Hollywood to film Master Minds with Game Show Network.

Their relationship has continued to go from strength to strength since they returned to the UK and they have taken the next step as Mark introduced his partner to the family. Mark's six foot six inch frame has earned him the nickname as The Beast on the popular ITV game show and Hayley has revealed that tallness runs in the family.

She shared snaps alongside his members alongside the caption: "The tallest family in Britain!"

Hayley 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 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 has previously told our sister site, Mirror Online, 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."
