The Chase star Mark Labbett has reportedly taken a huge next step in his romance with his new TV presenter girlfriend.
The legendary quizzer, 57 and new missus Hayley Palmer, 41 are said to have struck up a relationship less than a month ago.
Despite originally keeping their relationship low-key, it seems things are going great for the loved-up pair - who have a 16-year-age-gap.

So much so, that the two have now taken a big step in their relationship with Hayley reportedly flying out to Los Angeles to be with him.
According to a source, she has headed across the pond so they can spend time together while Mark films ABC's version of US The Chase.
An insider told The Sun: “Hayley caught a plane to LA on Wednesday to see Mark. He’s working really hard on Master Minds for Game Show Network in the States but wants to make time for her at the weekend.
“She’s been so busy with her own projects back in London, but they’re both determined to make this work.
“Hayley’s even bagged herself an interview with a U.S. radio station, a podcast appearance and she’ll be reporting from Hollywood for GB News."
Hayley is a television presenter who hosts music shows At Home With Hayley and Saturday Night With Hayley Palmer.
She was apparently introduced to Mark through her work on TV.
Mark tied the knot with his second cousin Katie in 2014 and they have a son together, Lawrence, who is now four.
But the pair decided to call things quits in 2020, citing their 27-year age gap as the reason.
It later emerged that Katie had been seeing a man called Scott at the same time - but this was a relationship that Mark was aware of.
Speaking to The Sun, Mark at the time said: "There was never any deceit on Katie’s part but it’s got to the point now where I realise it is better for us to go our separate ways and remain friendly."
Katie, 28, who had been dating senior design engineer Scott for 18 months, added: "I just want everyone to know what’s what and that we are all happy."
