ITV The Chase's Mark 'the Beast' Labbett distracts fans with weight loss

The Chase fans gushed over Mark Labbett's new look as many thought he'd lost even more weight.

Last year, 'The Beast' opened up about his type 2 diabetes which in turn meant he shed the pounds.

Speaking as part of Loose Women’ s 'Men’s Body Stories' campaign, Mark said: "Recently I've been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes which, given the amount of sugar I've eaten over the years, I'm not gonna complain.

"I've done the crime so now I'm doing the time."

Currently, the Beast is preparing to appear in a virtual pantomime in Rhyl, alongside his co-star Anne Hegerty.

As he was getting himself ready for the role, he snapped a quick selfie and tweeted: "Terrible at Panto makeup."

However, fans were distracted by his slim face, with many taking to the comments section.

Bec tweeted: "Very good job at weight loss. I know it's not easy..Jolly good."

Cathy said: "Younger looking and you've lost weight. Well done as looking good not that you didn't before."

Grace wrote: "This is the same guy wow I can hardly recognise him."
