Mark 'The Beast' Labbett's girlfriend drops major relationship bombshell
Just days after their one year anniversary, Mark 'The Beast' Labbett and his girlfriend Hayley Palmer have shared a major relationship update.
Labbett, 58, and Palmer, 42, met at the UK National Television Awards in 2022, and later became a couple.
But now, less than one week after celebrating their one year anniversary, the couple have announced their separation.
Palmer, an entertainment news presenter, shared the news of their split on Instagram, shocking fans everywhere.
“It is with regret I announce that myself and Mark have gone our separate ways," she began.
"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 opened up about some issues they have been facing in their relationship.
In an appearance on UK talk show Loose Women, Labbett, star of The Chase Australia, 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.”
Before his relationship with Palmer, Labbett was married to his second cousin, Katie, and the pair have a son, Lawrence.
