A source previously confirmed it's "early days" for the couple but they are having a "lot of fun together".

Speaking to Mirror, The Beast was asked if he spends time doing quizzes with his new TV presenter girlfriend.

Mark replied: "I’m on the road so much, plus the little matter of a six-year-old boy that I co-parent with, so I try to spend as much time as I can with him. I’m going out to film in America next month, and I’m already planning what I’m doing in July and August with Katie to see what weeks work.
