Over the last few years, he’s undergone an amazing weight change, dropping 10 stone, and The Chase Mark Labbett, known as The Beast, was showing off the results of his hard work as he posed in a snap opening a Christmas gift on Saturday backstage at his panto.
The slimmed-down quiz brainiac, 57, posed with one of his gifts, the board game version of Pointless, one of The Chase’s rivals in the TV quizzing world.
Mark wrote, referring to the game’s former co-host that this was his secret Santa at the Northwich Panto and that he admires Richard Osman.
He looked content and healthy in the photo as he donned a casual ensemble in a black T-shirt and comfortable trousers.
Fans were amazed at his apparent weight loss in the picture as one commented that they almost didn’t recognise him and that he’d actually smashed that weight loss.
Another said that it was an outstanding accomplishment.
A third wrote that smashing the weight loss was great work, while a fifth said that he was more of a minibeast now.
It comes after Mark showed off his remarkable 10-stone weight loss during an appearance on Loose Women last month.
The TV personality showed off his slimmed-down frame in a purple shirt and blazer as he sat on the panel.
Mark, who’s gone from a size 5xl to 2xl, also disclosed how he’d shed the pounds, saying he’s been consuming less and drinking more and concentrating on his health.
He said he totally altered his diet due to battling diabetes and said that played a part in his weight loss.
He said about his weight loss that he thought the diabetes may have helped because he consumes a lot less and drinks more liquids and that looking after a five-year-old during lockdown didn’t help, and there were numerous times he would collapse in a heap, but these days he’s occupied doing things.
It came after Mark, shared a picture of himself shirtless and showing off his weight loss back in January.
He said in the caption that he’d gone from a size 5xl to 2xl, but said at the time that he still had work to do on his figure.
Fans were quick to compliment his excellent progress, with one writing in the comments that it was fantastic.
Another said that it was a fantastic effort and a third posted that it was excellent progress.
Very well done to Mark on his weight loss but now he looks unwell, but weight loss can do that, and some might say that it doesn’t suit him, but that’s because we get so used to seeing a person as they are that when they do something to improve themselves people can’t get used to it.
What you have to remember is that losing that amount of weight is challenging work and takes a lot of dedication and willpower.
The trouble is that even after losing weight through diet and exercise most can gain it all back again, this is the reason Slimming World, Weight Watchers et cetera continue to have a business.
This guy has battled his weight for years and now he’s achieved this goal by eating healthy, exercising and having strict willpower and his hard work has paid off, and what a tremendous effort, and he’s got to be feeling much better for it – he’s an inspiration to many.
Unfortunately, many people, seem to believe that losing weight is as easy as changing your shoes.
