Well…
So we all know The Chase’s Mark Labbett, right?
He’s known as The Beast on the popular quiz show, and is a highly intelligent man.
Recently, Mark’s marriage was rocked by a major cheating scandal, however, the scandal also revealed something else.
It seems that Mark and his wife, Katie, are actually second cousins – their dads are first cousins.
And the couple only found this out three years after they got together.
Speaking on Loose Women, Mark said:
“It wasn’t something we were aware of at the time – it was one of those things that happened.”
The couple, who have one son together, had no idea that they were related.
“I had been a single man for a long while so I was getting used to the idea of being on my own. Especially as a bachelor, we can get pretty selfish, you get used to doing what you want to do all of the time.”
“As a couple of my friends pointed out the big challenge for me is learning to adapt with being with someone else.”
The quiz show star also spoke about the cheating scandal that has rocked their relationship.
Apparently, Katie has been dating a man since 2017, and has even been on holiday with him.
An insider revealed:
“It took a while for people to realise who she was and that she was married. Then one of Scott’s friends confronted her and she got angry about it.”
“She appeared on Loose Women with Mark and people started sending a clip around when they twigged who she was. People don’t think it’s right and think her behaviour is unfair on Mark — and Scott.”
