Hayley Palmer claims Mark Labbett dumped her over the phone



Hayley Palmer has branded her ex-boyfriend Mark Labbett ‘beastly’ after claiming he dumped her in a three-minute phone call.

The ‘heartbroken’ TV presenter, 42, and The Chase star, 58, announced their split in May, just days after their one year anniversary. 

Now, Hayley has claimed Mark ‘lives up to his nickname’ after ‘blindsiding’ her by brutally breaking-up with her over the phone.

She also revealed Mark ended their year-long romance because he did not want to divorce his ex wife Katie.

Speaking to The Sun, Hayley explained: ‘He has really lived up to his name. The Beast has been a beast.

‘It has come as a complete shock. I thought we were really happy.

‘I’m heartbroken and blindsided. His behaviour has been beastly.’

Hayley added she was disappointed that Mark didn’t discuss their relationship issues face-to-face and has now blocked him so he can no longer contact her.

MailOnline has contacted Mark’s representatives for comment.  

Last month, Mark announced his split from girlfriend Hayley, after one year together.

Mark and 42-year-old Sky Entertainment reporter Hayley marked their one year anniversary on social media in May – but he later now claimed there was too much of an age gap between them. 

Confirming news of their break-up on Instagram, Palmer wrote: ‘It is with regret I announce that myself and Mark have gone our separate ways. We had the best year together and I truly wish him all the best for the future.’

The pair had been dating since early 2023, with Mark previously admitting he was a ‘very very lucky man’ to be with her

A source told The Sun: ‘Mark had a lovely time with Hayley and has a lot of respect for her but they wanted different things.

‘She loves getting dressed up and going out to parties and showbiz events, whereas he prefers to stay at home.

‘Mark felt there was too much of an age gap between them for long-term success. They are still friendly.

‘Away from his job on telly and filming, Mark enjoys a quiet life and spending time with his son. He is still hopeful he can meet someone to settle down with one day.’
