Mark 'The Beast' Labbett wants to do 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
Mark 'The Beast' Labbett
The 57-year-old 'The Chase' star revealed he would like to sign up for the BBC dance show, now that he has lost weight.
He told The Sun: "I really, really, really would like to do 'Strictly Come Dancing'. Now we’ve got the weight down I’d love to do that.
"I’d love my own football game show. And if the good folks at ITV see fit to hand me one, I‘d grab it with both hands."
Mark split from his wife Katie - with whom he shares son, Laurence - in 2020 but has gone on to find love with presenter Hayley Palmer, 41.
He said: "Obviously I’m a little bit older than her, but I think it depends on who you’re with. I’d argue I’m a very childish 57.”
Speaking about their first date, he said: "I can tell you what the capital of Estonia is — Tallinn — but what does it mean when that pretty girl fires you that funny half-smile?
“I can’t read women with the aid of a road map. I am utterly useless.
“At the end of the evening I was going, ‘I really like her but I can’t pick up if she likes me or not’.
“So I thought, let’s take refuge in honesty and said, ‘I really like you, is there any chance of another date?’”
