THE Chase legend Mark Labbett has revealed why he’s ‘barred’ from joining Strictly Come Dancing.
Nicknamed “The Beast”, the quiz Goliath has appeared on The Chase since its 2009 debut.
However, the former maths teacher seemingly won’t show off his dance moves on Strictly anytime soon.
The 59-year-old revealed why during an episode of the beloved ITV quiz show.
He faced Annaka, from Newton Abbott, who brought in £2,000 from her cash builder.
Mark told the contestant: “Good afternoon, Annaka. Well, you quiz like I dance: it’s not pretty and it’s the reason I’m barred from Strictly.”
In usual strong form, The Beast reduced this team down to one player in the final round.
He promptly caught the sole contestant, Debra, with 50 seconds remaining on the clock.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun last year, Mark revealed whether he would be up for joining the BBC show.
He told us: “We actually film The Chase at the same place, at the George Lucas in Elstree.
“I could do one show in the morning and then go straight on up and do the other in the evening.
“I would be very happy if my agent said, ‘Strictly would love to chat to you.’
“From October, November, December, I practically live in Elstree doing The Chase so it would work out perfectly.”
It has previously been claimed show bosses had Mark on their wish list.
A show insider shared he’d been considered for the 2018 series – which was later won by Stacey Dooley.
They told The Sunday People: “Mark has become one of the best-known personalities on TV so he has come on to Strictly’s radar.
“They think he could be a real hit with viewers, as he has been on The Chase.
“He would certainly make people stand up and take notice with his stature.”
The Chase continues on ITV1 and ITVX.

FORMULA 1 legend Martin Brundle has branded his famous grid-walk interviews “car crash TV” and admits he’s walking a career tightrope.
The racing driver-turned-broadcaster, 65, prowls the racing grids in the moments before each race looking for superstar VIPs to interview.
Over the years, many have gone viral – from Ozzy Osbourne rambling at him incoherently to a very awkward exchange with Machine Gun Kelly about his music career.
Sometimes celebs refuse to engage altogether like when Cara Delevingne controversially shunned him at the 2023 British GP, and he’s even been bundled from the race track by security.
The chaotic, unscripted nature of his interviews has left him terrified it could all come crashing down on him live on air.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun at F1 75 Live at London‘s O2 Arena, he said: “I’m one sentence away from the end of my career at all times, or being cancelled.
“I’m terrified of the whole thing, because it’s live and it’s just pure car crash television.
“Machine Gun Kelly, Megan Thee Stallion, I don’t know, getting knocked about by security guards. They’re the ones that people like.
“And then I meet some really lovely, fascinating, world-class people, politicians and royalty and movie stars, and I’m very privileged with people like me on the grid.”
Often celebrity guests admit to knowing nothing about the sport, something that drives die-hard fans who could only dream of being amongst the drivers on race day up the wall.
“I understand that,” said Brundle. “Because we watch Formula 1 year in, year out, racing ourselves, and they’re on the grid and they actually don’t know anything about it, and quite clearly don’t really want to be there.
“They’re just selling a movie or something. I get that, but for Formula 1, they are A-listers.”
The racing veteran, who spent 12 years as a driver from 1984 to 1996, said that there are occasions when many lucky enough to be on the guest list don’t even turn up, with the new Las Vegas track a particular victim of no shows.
He said: “I get a list through on it, race morning, with 70 people on it. Half of them don’t turn up, but you get through and you’re like, ‘I’ve not heard of many of those’. Oh, 65 million followers on Instagram. Oh, 140 million followers on Instagram.
“How did I not hear of these people? Clearly somebody has. I think it’s all part of the incoming tide, all the boats float higher. That’s part of why something like this works today, and it hasn’t happened in the past.”
Last night’s celebration of the sport’s 75th anniversary saw all 10 F1 teams unveil their 2025 liveries ahead of the new season.
A spectacular production gave each team their moment in the spotlight to show off their driver partnerships and new look cars.
Host Jack Whitehall brought the laughs, while the likes of Machine Gun Kelly, Kane Brown and Take That provided music.
The most anticipated moment of the night was the chance to see Lewis Hamilton in Ferrari red for the first time.
He certainly looked the part and Martin believes the move from Mercedes will reinvigorate the seven-time world champion.
He said: “I think Lewis will be energised completely. He’s faster. Think back to Silverstone last year, think back to Las Vegas last year.
“Lewis was fast as, and I think he’ll want to show everybody he’s made yet another good decision.
“He’s got his hands full because Charles Leclerc is very fast. All the youngsters there, they’re barely half his age, some of them, and they’re fast and they’re fearless.
“I think he’s got a lot of hard work ahead, but I would never write Lewis out of my mind.”

TIGER WOODS suffered the “most embarrassing moment” of his career during an appearance at a TGL indoor match.
The golf star was caught in an unfortunate mixup when taking one of his shots.
Woods, 49, was lining up a shot and asked for the yardage to be confirmed.
He heard a call of 99 yards – caddies often drop the first number when it appears obvious.
But for Woods the distance being 100 yards further to the pin was not obvious to him.
The 15-time major champion hit what he thought would be an ideal shot as it travelled 100 yards.
However, as the ball bounced down on the simulator, it had clearly only travelled half the required distance.
Kevin Kisner and Tom Kim broke down in laughter at their Jupiter Links team-mate’s misfortune.
Woods attempted to defend himself after losing the 13th hole against New York Golf Club’s Cameron Young.
He said: “I heard 99 yards, so I went out there and hit it.

“One of the most embarrassing moments in my golfing career just happened.
“I just screwed up. That was embarrassing.”
The costly error did little to effect the final score of the match as New York won 10-3.
Fans were just as shocked by the gaffe as they reacted on social media.
One posted: “Ohh nooo, that’s gotta hurt.”
A second wrote: “Don’t worry Tiger. This has happened to me too. We’re the same.”
A third commented: “I’ve had this mixup countless times, don’t worry Tiger.”
A fourth said: “Tough break, but I guess even legends make mistakes sometimes.”
Another added: “I always blame my caddy, too!”
It follows on from Woods being left red-faced after breaking one of his own created rules as he hit a shot after the time clock ran out.

THE pope has warned aides he may not survive the illness he is battling in hospital, and is preparing his legacy in case he dies.
Pope Francis was rushed to hospital last Friday, where he has stayed after “complications” were found with his respiratory infection.
Doctors have told him “in no uncertain terms he was at risk of dying”.
But now, the Pope fears he will not recover from the illness, and is rushing to tie up loose ends ahead of his successor.

AS JAY McCormick toasts her husband over a posh dinner she’s all too aware of the whispers and stares from fellow diners.
“He must be rich,” says one while another table openly laughs at the pair.
But Jay pays them no mind. Matthew might be almost 30 years her senior but they both know that age is just a number.
She met her 49-year-old hubby on Plenty of Fish and moved across the country to move in with him the same day they met in the flesh.
They were engaged just two weeks later.
Jay says: “I didn’t set out for an older man, and Matthew didn’t set out for a younger person. It just happened.
“We want to encourage other age-gap couples to never be ashamed and not to let any criticism stop you from being happy.”
In August 2023, Jay was 19 years old when she was living in South Dakota and made a profile on the popular dating website.
She says: “Despite only being 19, I was in the middle of a divorce.
“Mum, and my family, were devout Christians, not allowed to cut their hair and only wearing long gowns to cover their bodies.
“I fell pregnant with my partner, and my family wouldn’t allow me to live in ‘sin.’ I was pressured into marriage.
“The situation ended up unhealthy and we split. But we were still living together until I found a new place.
“So when I made my dating profile that day I hoped I’d find the right person for me. I was still eager to find love again.
“At first I had disgusting sexual messages, and unsolicited penis pics. I ignored every creep.”
The next day, stranger, Matthew, messaged Jay through the website, calling her beautiful.
He lived 800 miles away, in a village in Oklahoma, and owned a farm.
Jay says: “Looking at his profile, I saw a much older man who looked decades older.
“For a moment, I worried he wanted to be my sugar daddy, or that he wasn’t real.
“But we got chatting and he was really kind and sincere. He told me he was 48 and I told him I was 19.
“I also said I was two months pregnant, and planning a divorce. He was incredibly caring.
“Every day, he set an alarm to remind me to take my pre-natal meds, and put on my stretch mark cream.
“We spoke for hours on end each night. I was smitten.”
The mysterious stranger across the country had stolen Jay’s heart and she fell in love.
The pair became a couple, despite their 30-year-age gap and having never met.
The next month, Jay moved out of her ex-boyfriend’s home and into a hotel.
Matthew then set off for a 2-day car drive across the U.S to meet Jay in South Dakota.
Jay says: “I got very nervous. I thought, what if he’s a catfish? Or if he was dangerous.
“I knew what a scary world the internet was. But as he pulled up outside in his truck I ran over to him and hugged him tight.
“My worries melted away and we kissed passionately. It felt like we’d known each-other a lifetime.
Taking a leap and risking everything for Matthew was scary. But it was the best decision of my life
Jay McCormick
“Right away, we went to my hotel room. We talked for hours, before deciding I’d return home with him.
“I packed two small suitcases and two bags. Then Matthew and I left my life behind and hit the road.
“I settled in at his home and loved it there. But later that week, I suffered a miscarriage. I was heartbroken but Matthew was incredible and took work off to care for me.
“Taking a leap and risking everything for Matthew was scary. But it was the best decision of my life.”
Sadly Jay was diagnosed with PCOS and Asherman syndrome, a condition where scar tissue formed inside her uterus.
She let her ex know they’d lost the baby, and two weeks after moving in, Matthew proposed to her at home.
Jay says: “It was the happiest moment of my life. Although my divorce wasn’t complete, I wanted Matthew to be mine forever.
“His family were amazing and welcomed me in with open arms. His mum even helped me plan the wedding.
“But Matthew’s two children, in their mid 20s, were estranged from him. He hadn’t seen or heard from them in years.
“Not long after, my mum blocked me on everything after she found out. Whilst the rest of my family, including my 13 siblings, blocked and disowned me as well.
“They agreed that I’d gone against the church. I was cut off. It hurt deeply, but deep down I knew I deserved better.
“After two months together, Matthew and I fell pregnant with twins. We were so shocked as Matthew’s vasectomy he’d had 10 years before had naturally reversed.
“I then received a letter through the post from my mum too. She wrote that I’d put shame on her and the church.
“She said I was making the biggest mistake of my life marrying Matthew and that she’d never approve.
“I realised then that she and my family only cared about their reputation, not my happiness. I scrunched up the piece of paper and threw it in the bin.”
Sadly the disapproval of Jay and Matthew’s relationship didn’t stop there. They began receiving cruel taunts from strangers and locals.
She says: “One night we were at dinner and the wait staff were speaking in Spanish talking about us.
“Little did they know, I spoke Spanish. I heard them laugh ‘He must have a lot of money.’
Everywhere we went, locals continued to point at us. We became the city’s gossip
Jay McCormick
“Then right after we paid our bill, I thanked them for the meal in Spanish. They all turned pale in embarrassment.
“Every food shop we went to, people not only laughed at us, but they pointed.”
Jay claims a stranger in their town even took a photo of her and Matthew holding hands whilst shopping before uploading the photo to a local Facebook group called ‘Trashy people in our county.’
The group, which had hundreds of thousands of locals in it, saw the photo labelled ‘Gross grooming relationship.’
Jay says: “Underneath, there were over 300 comments ridiculing us. Some said ‘They’re sick in the head.’
“Others wrote ‘Must be in a cult.’ And ‘Shes come from the other side of the country, she has been trafficked by this man.’
“It was horrific. I was a grown adult who’d consented. Matthew was confused and angry too.
“Everywhere we went, locals continued to point at us. We became the city’s gossip.
“Even on our business Instagram and TikTok, I made reels about the chickens and we were trolled on there.
“Locals wrote ‘15 with a 50-year-old man,’ ‘His life insurance must be good’, ‘His must pay for everything’ and that I was ‘Doing the long game waiting for him to die.’
“It was relentless. At first, I refused to let them get the better of me, ignoring it all.
“But the trolls then said our unborn children were a product of grooming.
“I could handle them abusing us. But no-one would speak ill against our children.
“I began replying, defending ourselves constantly. Then sadly on Valentine’s day in 2024, we lost the twins.
“As Matthew and I grieved, whilst dealing with so much hate in the local area, it was too much to bear.”
In the end, the couple didn’t allow anyone to tear them apart, and claim it instead made them stronger.
Despite the world against them, Matthew and Jay married in August 2024, in a private courthouse ceremony after Jay’s divorce was finalised with her ex.
Jay says: “Now, Matthew and I haven’t given up our dream to be parents. And the abuse online is still ongoing too.
“Only the other week someone called me a ‘grandpa fucker’ and another wrote Matthew ‘better dye his hair because it looks like he raped me.’
“I’ve learned to laugh it off now. In fact, it’s becoming boring, and people need to get new material.
“To anyone that judges a couple like us, it reflects more poorly on you that it does us. Matthew’s the love of my life.”
GORDON RAMSAY was abruptly muted at the F1 75 launch event as he gave his thoughts on the FIA’s controversial crackdown on swearing.
The celebrity, well-known for his foul tongue, is also a huge Formula One and is often seen in attendance at races.
And Ramsay, 58, was a special guest during F1’s special launch event at the O2 Arena in London paying homage to the motorsport’s milestone 75th anniversary.
The night saw the liveries of the ten teams revealed, also giving fans a chance to see the drivers in their new racesuits including Lewis Hamilton, who was seen in Ferrari colours live for the first time.
But the new F1 season has been overshadowed by a controversial crackdown on swearing by the FIA, the sport’s governing body.
Asked for his opinion on the rules by comedian-turned-presenter Jack Whitehall, Ramsay said: “Come on Jack you’re going to get me into trouble.
“I think it’s an industry language, the fact that these athletes are pushing themselves to the extreme and sometimes it comes out, let them be real. Let it go.
“They’re risking their life everytime, they’re travelling at over 200mph so if the s*** hits the fan.”
But Ramsay’s microphone was cut-out as soon as he began to say the word “s***”, indicating it was a pre-planned stunt.
Whitehall joked: “Gordon please. You’re not getting invited back next year.”
Reacting to the comments on social media, one fan said: “Gordon Ramsay about to get fined.”
A second said: “Gordon Ramsay about to get fined.”
A third said: “Just when I couldn’t love Gordon Ramsay anymore. He absolutely cooked.”
The perceived over-policing of the rules led to clashes between F1 drivers, including Max Verstappen, and the FIA after drivers were fined for swearing during media activities.
However, new rules announced in January are set to see an even more strict policing on swearing enforced with far heavier punishments.
A continued offence for swearing could see drivers hit with a €120,000 (£101.5k) fine, a one-month ban and an unspecified number of championship points.
The first such case under these rules happened last weekend when World Rally Car driver Adrien Fourmaux was fined €10,000 (£8,300) for using inappropriate language during a live post-stage interview.
This included an additional suspended fine of €20,000 (£16,600).
During a press conference at the launch event, Verstappen was asked about the new rules, to which he went full Jose Mourinho by saying he prefers not to speak.
