THE Chase’s Mark ‘The Beast’ Labbett has revealed he’s the skinniest he’s been in 30 years.
The top quizzer, 56, has dropped a huge 10 stone in recent years and many trouser sizes.
He was reminded of his amazing progress while clothes shopping today, writing on Twitter: “Happiness is buying a 42′ M&S regular black jeans….and finding they are a bit loose 
Last time I was this small it was the 1990s #skinnybeast.”
The TV star previously credited his pet dog Baloo with helping him ditch the pounds by getting him into the habit of exercising regularly.
“My wife promised me that when we first got him she would take care of everything – feeding him, walking him and so on,” he explained.
“That lasted about two weeks before she decided ‘Actually Mark, look at your belly – you need the exercise!'”

Mark and Baloo instantly bonded and he now refers to the pooch as his own “personal trainer”.
He previously told the Loose Women how he’d gone from 5XL to XL.
Speaking of his weight battle over the years, he said: “I’ve lost 10 stone. I was 29 stone when I was a full time teacher in 2003 and I was in danger of high blood pressure.
“I’ve been around 26 stone up until lockdown, and then a few things happened quite nicely and came together and I started losing weight.”
And when asked how he’s managed to lose such an incredible amount of weight, Mark – who shares a son with his ex-wife Katie – joked that running around after the toddler has helped.
He said: “The principle thing is running around after a hyperactive toddler when nurseries have been shut. How do you keep up with them?
“I found at the end of the evening instead of going to the fridge for late night snacking, all I could do was collapse on the bed.”
