The Chase’s Mark Labbett has been filming for Celebs Go Dating but was forced to pause filming for the series due to his health.

Channel 4’s dating show sees celebrities try to find love with a new group of famous faces looking for ‘the one’ in each series.

Labbett, known on the quiz show as The Beast, admitted he had been “single for most of my life”, before adding: “I’m a little bit on the spectrum.”

The quizzer has diabetes and it was this that forced him to take a break while filming, reports The Mirror.
