Mark Labbett paused Celebs Go Dating filming due to health
The quizzer has diabetes and it was this that forced him to take a break while filming, reports The Mirror.
He said: 'One night, I had a hypoglycaemic attack,' adding: 'I might have been a bit grumpy that night. I apologised to everyone after.'
The Beast said a nap on set afterwards helped him out.
Also while filming, Labbett was reportedly asked 'to read social cues', the newspaper says.
Labbett said: 'I went, 'What do you mean?''
He added: ''You don't notice people's emotions when in the room?,' and I said no. There was shock on both sides.'
What is a hypoglycaemic attack?
The NHS explains: "Low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia or a hypo) is usually where your blood sugar (glucose) is below 4mmol/L. It needs to be treated quickly to stop it getting worse, but you can usually treat it yourself."
Symptoms of hypoglycaemia include feeling hungry, dizzy or anxious, sweating, shaking and more.
You can find out more about hypoglycaemia via the NHS website.

Love Island's Shakira calls Harry a 'cockroach' after rollercoaster romance
Love Island's Shakira and Harry came second in the final on Monday night, despite their tumultuous romance in the villa, with the star jokingly hitting out at him in a new post Love Island only just ended on Monday night, with Toni and Cach coming out on top as winners after a tough few weeks. Shakira and Harry were runners-up and Yas and Jamie came in third place, much to the delight of fans at home who insisted they 'voted for the right people'. Shakira and Harry had a tumultuous time in the villa, with the two gravitating towards each other before his head was turned by Helena. However, they soon found their way back to each other and quickly became a fan-favourite couple despite his 'bad boy' antics that resulted in many rows. While he insisted he would gladly move to Burnley to be with the gorgeous star, some fear their romance might already be on the rocks after she shared a snap of Harry as a cockroach. It comes after reports of all the celebrities rumoured to be joining BBC Strictly Come Dancing 2025. On her Instagram Stories, she re-posted a meme made by Love Island, which featured two cartoon cockroaches with Harrison ad Harry's heads superimposed onto it, with a first prize medal on Harrison and a second place medal on Harry. The edit comes after Shakira cried about them in an emotional moment in the villa. The moment was shared in the same cockroach post and saw her in tears as she yelled out: "That absolute little ant. Like, he stood up there a f***ing cockroach and cockroach number two's stood next to him," referring to Harry. Shakira shared the picture of the cockroaches and joked: "Second place suits you." In the original post, which was shared two weeks ago, fans rushed to side with Shakira. "We are with you Shakira," one person wrote, and another posted: "Toni and Shakira are the best couple in there." One fan commented: "I wish she knew how loved she is on the outside!!!!" During the live final, host Maya Jama wasted no time in telling runners-up Shakira and Harry what she really thought of their romance. The presenter gave her true thoughts on the pair, having called out Harry for his behaviour towards Helena and others in a previous episode. Harry shared his shock though, as Maya admitted this time it felt different between them. Having seen clips of them together for the final week and the final day, she said watching them she could see it was genuine. She shared: "Well you both look very happy with each other. It's nice to see you two together in the final. "You both look really... I dunno. The last couple of days I've been watching you like, this is cute. This is cute."

This is the heartbreaking final photo of Oasis die hard Lee Claydon - partying with other fans in the stands at Wembley Stadium before he tragically fell to his death.

The Mirror reports Lee's father, 75-year-old Clive Claydon, revealed his son was a "lifelong" fan of the band, and had been excited to see them live. Clive said: 'He was a lifelong Oasis fan and he was so looking forward to going. Out of all the thousands of people there why's it got to be my son?" And Lee's dad now believes the tragedy happened after he slipped on beer with the floor wet.

Paying tribute to Lee on Facebook, his cousin Shannon Gabrielle said: "Honestly don't even know what words to write right now. "My cousin Lee tragically passed away this weekend after no doubt having the time of his life at the Oasis concert this weekend, most will have seen snippets in the news. "I'm sure & as you can imagine it has devastated the whole family and for his closest knit family unit it's the toughest time they are going through ever right now. "Sharing his go fund me page, in the hope that any donations, big or small, will go a long way towards helping his partner Amanda & the boys throughout this awful period and costs of things. "You just don't fathom you will go out for a night of amazing fun & not come home at the end of it." After the news emerged, Oasis said they were 'shocked and saddened' to hear of the death during their sell-out Wembley show last weekend. The band said in a statement: 'We are shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic death of a fan at the show last night.

Tommy Fury's dad tells him to 'get a grip' as boxer complains about social media
Boxer and reality star Tommy Fury was shut down by his father, John Fury, after he tried to open up about his recent 'horrendous' struggles Tommy Fury's dad, John, rolled his eyes and told him to 'get a grip' after the boxer complained about the last six months of his life before blaming social media for his woes. In a teaser clip for his new programme, Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury, the Love Island star was seen sitting in the living room with his dad discussing how 'tough' life has been for him in recent months. In the programme that was filmed in the months after his shock break-up from Molly-Mae Hague and before they got back together, he said: "My life has been absolute torture for the past six months. Horrible. Going out in public, getting screamed at. Ad when you go out in public and someone says something, what are you meant to do? "Tip your head and f**king walk on? The reason why, you know all of this is here, is because of social media." It comes after Tyson Fury's huge net worth is revealed as Morecambe face going out of business. Tommy continued: "And it's because you have a profile, and it's because people are interested in you. If you didn't, you'd be f**ked. You wouldn't earn a penny. So it's tough. It's just been a constant." John was sitting close to him and was seen rolling his eyes as Tommy tried to open up about his struggles before the dad interrupted to say: "Yeah, it's not tough," with Tommy insisting: "It has, it's been horrible." The reality star's father told Tommy he was 'in his head' and the father-of-one claimed: "It's been horrendous". John had enough of Tommy's self-pitying and asked his son: "Has anybody died? There's no on dead, is there? "Your baby's healthy, you live in a nice house, you got a good car. You're flying high. It's your mind taking over you. Fuck 'em all! And live your life and enjoy what you've got. Or else you'll never be happy." Tommy, who recently reunited with Molly-Mae, said he wasn't bothered by anybody else's opinions, adding: "I wanna know when I'm back in the ring and what the f**k direction my life's taking." "Well, guess what? Every boxer in the world's got this problem," an increasingly fed-up John told his son, who was in denial and said: "No, they haven't." John continued: "Of course they have. You take too much for granted. But I'm an old school kind of man. You're never gonna learn from today's people because they don't know anything." When Tommy tried to argue that the times have changed, John added: "Well, you're going to have a very unhappy life. Come on, man. Give it a break. You're overthinking everything. Get a grip, know your worth, and march on forward. And we're sat here, 'social media don't like me'. Get me out of here." As he gave Tommy his harsh advice, John got up from the couch to put on his coat and beanie before walking out of the room and out of the conversation.
