ITV’s The Chase is one of the most popular shows television and has spawned spin-offs all over the world, including in the United States of America and Australia.
However, the British edition of the show has always been a favourite amongst fans because of the presence of the charismatic chasers and host Bradley Walsh.
Mark ‘The Beast’ Labbett has offered an apology after a recent episode after he ‘gave up’ and stormed off the set following a loss to the contestants.
Simon, Trudy, Gurbinder and Tom all had a successful run when they faced The Beast.

And the group managed to walk away with a share of their £21,000 jackpot after The Beast was thrown off course and lost with a few questions left to go after admitting: “I give up, well played guys.”
After Bradley congratulated the contestants on the win, he then turned to The Beast for his reaction.
But, it didn’t end too well, the Manchester Evening News reports.
After congratulating his opponents, Mark then said “I’m off”, and got up from his seat and left the set.

Looking bewildered, Bradley looked straight into the camera and said: “I apologise to all the kids watching, that is not how you should take defeat.
Despite being polite to the contestants before leaving his chaser chair, Mark found it necessary to apologise to his fans through his social media following the programme.
Mark took to his Twitter to issue and apology where he said his mental health at the time of recording wasn’t very good.
He wrote: “Apologies to those of you disappointed with my behaviour tonight. My mental health was shot before that game, it was storm off or break down in tears. A remorseless diet of quality opponents didn’t help #thechase.”

Mark’s fellow Chaser Paul Sinha showed his support, replying to him: “You should never have to apologise for the crime of ‘being human’. I’d have been nowhere on those questions.”
