The Chase star Mark Labbett looked happier than ever as he enjoyed a lunch date with his new TV presenter girlfriend.
Mark, 57, showed off his slimmed-down figure in a plain black t-shirt as he and girlfriend Hayley Palmer, 41, stopped to have dessert at a pub during their day out.
The brain box, aka The Beast, has lost an incredible 10 stone after completely changing his lifestyle.
On Thursday afternoon, Hayley took to her Instagram Stories to share a snap of Mark beaming at the camera as he was about to tuck into the crumble.
"A beast of a crumble," she captioned the post as she tagged him.

"At Southsea, oh I do like to be beside the seaside. Fish and chips followed by ice cream. Simple pleasures @hayleypalmer_presenter," he said on his page.
The father-of-one cut a trim figure in the snap, sporting a grey, woollen coat while Hayley wore sunglasses and a beige blazer.

Mark lost a whopping 10 stone (Instagram)He recently dodged questions about Hayley in a recent interview with Mirror.
When asked whether he does quizzes with his new girlfriend, he said: "I’m on the road so much, plus the little matter of a six-year-old boy that I co-parent with, so I try to spend as much time as I can with him. I’m going out to film in America next month, and I’m already planning what I’m doing in July and August with Katie to see what weeks work.
He added: "Having said that, I have just been studying NBA basketball because I’m going out to America I want them going ‘for a Brit he knows about this stuff’, plus I used to play basketball being 6ft 6, 6ft 7, you’d expect I play basketball.”
