The Chase’s Mark Labbett to meet wife Katie’s boyfriend Scott after split

The Chase star Mark Labbett is set to meet his wife Katie’s boyfriend Scott for the first time.

The star, 55, who is known to fans of the ITV quiz show as The Beast, has announced his split from his 28-year-old wife Katie following 18 months of making their marriage open.

Over the last year-and-a-half, Katie has been in a romantic relationship with 30-year-old senior design engineer Scott.

Scott has met Katie and Mark’s three-year-old son and appears to have a good relationship with him.

In an interview with The Sun, Katie has discussed how Mark has been speaking with Scott and that she plans on having them meet face-to-face.

Katie revealed: “Scott and I are together now, and Mark knows everything.

“They’ve spoken on the phone and I’m planning on introducing them properly soon.”

It will be the first time they have been since Katie and Scott’s romantic relationship began.

However, Katie added: “They only met briefly about two years ago.”

The 28-year-old outlined her hopes for her new relationship and her hopes for them as a family.

“Now I just want to have a normal relationship, no lies,” added Katie.

“I want everyone to know what’s what and that we are all happy. I just want Mark to be happy.”

Mark and Katie are second cousins and first met over Facebook in 2010 before going on to get together in 2012 and get engaged the following year.

They have a three-year-old son together, but Mark admits some insecurity about Scott’s relationship with his little boy.

“My only concern is that Scott’s good with him, which he appears to be,” notes Mark.

“We’ve started speaking and are beginning to chat more and more.”

Katie began dating Scott 18 months ago and the stress of Covid-19 on her marriage to Mark in lockdown and his mental health difficulties has led to the pair’s marriage breaking down.

Scott and Katie are now together as a fully-fledged couple, but she will continue to co-parent her son with his father Mark.
