The Chase's Mark Labbett and Hayley Palmer have been seen taking swipes at each other their amid break-up.
The former couple have now stopped following each other on Instagram after recently announcing that they had split up. The two of them had just celebrated one year together before surprising fans that they had called it quits on their romance.
Despite seeming at first to go split amicably, they've now cut ties on social media. This comes as Mark posted about his positive summer post-break up, saying: "Feels good to be The Beast."
Hayley confirmed the split via her Instagram Stories in May, posting: "It is with regret I announce that myself and Mark have gone our separate ways. We had the best year together and I truly wish him all the best for the future. Off I go to listen to Taylor Swift."
OK! reported that a source said: "Mark had a lovely time with Hayley and has a lot of respect for her but they wanted different things. She loves getting dressed up and going out to parties and showbiz events, whereas he prefers to stay at home.
The Chase viewers think they’ve worked out hilarious reason for scheduling shake-upMark felt there was too much of an age gap between them for long-term success. They are still friendly. Away from his job on telly and filming, Mark enjoys a quiet life and spending time with his son. He is still hopeful he can meet someone to settle down with one day."
Just a few days before their split, Mark and Hayley took a trip to the same beach where they are said to have enjoyed an initial date. Mark wrote alongside a photo of them at the location: "One year anniversary. Same beach, same bench." Hayley shared the same caption in her own post at the time.
They have previously spoken about their relationship in interviews. Asked about the age difference between them, Hayley said on Good Morning Britain earlier this year: "I feel like we're pretty much the same [...] We just get on really well." She added: "It kind of works [but] we're different."
The former couple met at the 2022 National Television Awards when Mark was presented with a Toby Carvery Gold Card, leaving Hayley blown away. Hayley recently told The Mirror that she thought Mark was The One. Speaking about the Toby Carvery card, she said: "It was a fun kind of ice breaker. Then he messaged me the next day, and we were having a little chat, and he was like, 'Maybe I’ll take you to that Toby Carvery'. I was just laughing about it, I thought we were just friends."
