The Chase’s Paul Sinha has shown his support to co-star Mark Labbett – who admitted to having a “breakdown’ on the ITV programme on Wednesday, 18 October.
Mark, known by his nickname The Beast, took to social media to explain that he had struggled facing ‘yet another star team’ on the popular quiz show. A team of three beat the 58 year old quiz expert in the final chase and took home £20,000 between them.
Viewers noticed a difference in Mark during Wednesday night’s show and the star has now taken to X/Twitter to clear up what happened. He wrote: "I had a breakdown prior to the final chase, was utterly demoralised by yet another star team.”
He went on to add: “I still applauded and congratulated the team but it was edited out :(."
Fellow chaser Paul Sinha, 53, offered his support following the admission. He wrote: "It’s easily lost we’re not robots, we’re human beings trying our best. Whatever you see on screen is a snapshot of us at an unspecified moment sometime in the last 18 months."
He added: “We could have been under stress for any number of reasons, much of [which] may be long forgotten.” Fans of Mark’s also offered their support following his X post.
One said: “It always amazes me how you get the top teams and other chasers get the ones that fall apart straight away, I think there is something going on, they know who the contestants are and how good they are, anyway you are the greatest and the editing is not acceptable.”
Another added: “Keep the faith, come back stronger.”
A third wrote: “It’s the most frustrated I have seen you! On the bright side my wife and I were laughing at how grumpy you looked but in a nice way if that’s possible. All part of the twists and turns that great show provides.” A fourth added: "Anyone can have a bad day."
Mark has been in the news in recent years after undergoing an incredible body transformation. The TV star weighed 29 stone at his heaviest but over the last five years he has embarked on a stunning weight loss journey.
The quizzer said he had managed to shed an impressive 10 stone by "eating less and drinking more".
Over summer, Mark showed off his impressive weight loss results as he celebrated girlfriend Hayley Palmer's birthday. The pair enjoyed a spa day to mark the occasion.
Meanwhile, earlier this month, Mark looked unrecognisable from his early days on The Chase as he was spotted in a cool and casual outfit consisting of a simple grey t-shirt with some black trousers and black trainers.
The TV quizzer appeared thrilled to be having his picture taken as he looked more toned than ever.
