The Chase star Mark Labbett is reportedly enjoying his first romantic break with his new love, television presenter Hayley Palmer.

The 57-year old, who is known affectionately as "The Beast" on the hit ITV quiz show went public with the Ideal World star, 41, last month.

Now, the pair are believed to be in Los Angeles together, where Mark is to begin work on his return to US TV.

Hayley, meanwhile, who also presents and produces two weekly music chat shows on Sky has also secured work across the pond.

A source told The Sun: "Hayley caught a plane to LA on Wednesday to see Mark. He's working really hard on Master Minds for Game Show Network in the States but wants to make time for her at the weekend.

"She's been so busy with her own projects back in London, but they're both determined to make this work.

"Hayley's even bagged herself an interview with a U.S. radio station, a podcast appearance and she'll be reporting from Hollywood for GB News."

Mark, who split from his wife of seven years, Katie told the Mirror in May that he struggles to prioritise personal time with his busy schedule.

Asked if he spends time doing quizzes with his new partner, 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.

"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."

Hayley appeared to acknowledge the pair's relationship last month on Instagram.

She captioned a post: "#throwback The one time I'm not wearing heels and I meet the man I need heels for! @markthebeastlabbett (& I'm 5'11!).

"I'm really giving my heels collection a good workout these days. (Every woman will understand!)."
