The Chase's Mark Labbett 'unrecognisable' in new suit after weight loss

The Chase's Mark Labbett has flaunted his impressive weight loss in a new Instagram post.

Mark, who is nicknamed The Beast, has been showcasing his progress on social media - and the 55-year-old looks almost unrecognisable.

In 2003, Mark tipped the scales at 29 stone.

Discussing his jaw-dropping transformation on Loose Women earlier this year, Mark said he hopes to "squeeze into" size XL trousers.

And it appears he is well on his way to achieving his goal.

With the 55-year-old posing in a black suit, white shirt, and red tie, the new Instagram post is captioned: "Off to the ITV Palooza in my shiny new jacket. I scrub up well :) thanks to @vtrilling for being a great wardrobe mistress x"

Fans were quick to congratulate and compliment the star.
