Mark has previously opened up about his weight loss following a warning from his doctor to drop the pounds.

After being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2017, Mark overhauled his lifestyle and started to improve his health.

He upped his exercise and activity as well as making changes to his diet like cutting out sugar.

Last year, Mark said on Instagram: “I’ve become much more physically active by going on walks with my dog and mindful about my sugar intake to help manage my diabetes, and I have also started eating breakfast which I never did before!”

More recently on Instagram, the quizzer has revealed he’s dropped clothing sizes.

Alongside a selfie, Mark said: “Down to 52 inch chest from 60″. So was 5xl, now 2xl.”

The Chase airs on ITV, weekdays, from 5pm.
