British TV presenter Hayley Palmer has announced her split from The Chase Australia star Mark “The Beast” Labbett.
Labbett, 58, and Palmer, 42, met at the UK National Television Awards in 2022, and later became a couple.
In a sad post on an Instagram Story, the entertainment news presenter said: “It is with regret I announce that myself and Mark have gone our separate ways. We had the best year together, and I truly wish him all the very best for the future. Off I go to listen to Taylor Swift.”

Hayley also added the heartbreak emoji at the end of the message.
The couple had been together for just over a year and posted Instagram photos to mark their anniversary after spending the day together at the beach where they spent their first date.
However, just days later, the couple hinted there were some issues in the relationship.
In an appearance on UK TV talk show Loose Women, Labbett said: “The difficult thing is, we live quite a bit apart. Obviously I live up in Sheffield, Rotherham, she’s a Chelsea girl.
“We tend to look at our diaries and when we can sync up together and so the good news is we see each other every few weeks but we make the most of it when we’re together so you get the best of both worlds.”
Labbett is a firm favourite on The Chase UK and The Chase Australia, and hit the headlines when he lost a remarkable 63kg.
Before his relationship with Palmer, Labbett was married to his second cousin, Katie, and the pair have a son, Lawrence.
