The Chases Mark Labbett wooed new girlfriend with Toby Carvery dinner

Mark Labbett might be a king of general knowledge, but going by his attempts to charm his glamorous new girlfriend, he still has a thing or two to learn about women.

The 57 year old quiz show favourite went public with his TV presenter girlfriend Hayley Palmer, three years after splitting from his nurse wife Katie, who was 27 years his junior.

Known as The Best, Mark met the glam 41 year old at the National Television Awards, and used a very special tactic to woo her – flashing his Toby Carvery Gold Card.

“I got introduced to him and he was like, ‘Do you know what I’ve got?’. And then he whips out his Toby Carvery Gold Card," Hayley told The Sun.

“I was actually really impressed. I thought, ‘I haven’t seen this before'," she added.

Stunning Hayley is a television presenter and most well-known for hosting Sky TV music shows, At Home With Hayley and Saturday Night With Hayley Palmer.

Following weeks of speculation surrounding their relationship, the couple went public for the first time in May when Mark shared a selfie of him and Hayley on the beach in Southsea, Portsmouth.

Devon-born Mark seems happier than ever now after calling time on his six-year marriage to his ex, revealing an incredible 10-stone weight loss.

The impressive transformation has left him looking almost unrecognisable from his early days on the ITV quiz show, hosted by Bradley Walsh.

He revealed in March he'd shrunk from a size 5XL down to a slimmer 2XL after losing almost 10 inches from his chest.

Mark and Hayley have been spending time together in America while Mark films for the US version of The Chase. The quiz master has been sharing photos of the loved-up pair – and his slimmer frame – on his social media account.

Confessing he's "living the Hollywood dream", Mark has been keen to show off his new romance following the difficult split with his ex-wife.

Clearly embracing the honeymoon phase of their union, Mark recently posted that he was "heartbroken" when Hayley had to leave the USA and return to the UK for her own work commitments.

Mark met his ex-wife Katie on social media and the couple went on to marry at Arundel Cathedral in West Sussex in 2014, before learing they were actually second cousins. Mark said at the time: "It wasn't something we were aware of at the time – it was one of those things that happened."

They had one child together, six-year-old son Laurence, and continue to co-parent successfully.

At the time of their separation, Mark said: “We are separated but we get on really well, we co-parent. I promised to look after her and I promised to look after my kid.”
