The Chase star Mark Labbett looked even more loved up than ever as he walked hand-in-hand with his new girlfriend after taking a big step in their relationship.

Mark - also known by his alter ego The Beast - and Hayley Palmer have been getting closer and closer this summer and even took to a trip to LA together.

The couple first met at the National Television Awards in October of last year and instantly hit it off - but only became official a few months ago.

She fell for the brainiac and was by his side on Tuesday for his latest television appearance.

They couldn't stop smiling as they made their way to daytime show Steph's Packed Lunch, filmed in Leeds, Yorkshire, hand-in-hand.

Mark, 57, wore a grey blazer and polo shirt paired with black trousers, while Hayley, 41, wore a short black dress with a plunging neckline and silver high heels.

They had plenty to talk about - Mark has ramped up his romance by recently introducing her to his family.

Mark, who is best known as The Beast on the ITV's show, split from wife Katie, with whom he shares son Lawrence, three years ago.

Hayley took to Instagram to reveal she met the towering favourite's family and shared some photos of the big moment.

"Aww so lovely meeting @markthebeastlabbett family," she wrote alongside the image, which showed her dining with the family members.

Referring to Mark, who is 6ft 6in, and his loved ones, she added: "The tallest family in Britain aha!"

In a second snap with the gang, she shared: "Had the best time tonight."

Mark, who is best known as quizmaster The Beast on ITV's The Chase, split from wife Katie, with whom he shares son Lawrence, in 2020.

Hayley told Woman's Day all about their visit to America.

"This is our first holiday," she said. "Mark and I have both been working and filming, but we've been able to make the most of our time together.

"This is the first time we've been able to do more than the odd date, so it's been fantastic.

"We've spent some quality time together, and it's been wonderful for our relationship."

Hayley has also opened up about their relationship and admitted that one key detail saw her fall head over heels for the intelligent quiz man.

Talking to the MailOnline, the loved-up couple said: "We are taking things really slowly, but this is the first time we've been able to do more than the odd date so it's been fantastic.

"We are getting on well and are happy."
