The Chase star Mark Labbett appears to have made a subtle dig at his ex-girlfriend, Hayley Palmer , just weeks after their shock split. Labbett, 58, also known as ‘The Beast’ on the hit quiz show , has shared a photo to his X account of himself eating at the same restaurant and what seems to be the same table he and Palmer, 42, once frequented. Indulging in a bowl of soup and bread at the Seasons in Rotherham, the star was all smiles as he declared his summer would be full of ‘protein and pain’ , just weeks after his split from the Sky Entertainment presenter was announced.
‘My summer of protein and pain. Gym [tick] Nutrition [tick],’ he said. ‘Feels good to be The Beast.

Palmer announced their breakup in May with a post on her Instagram stories. She told her 38,200 followers: ‘It is with regret I announce that myself and Mark have gone our separate ways.
