The Express carried reports of his subsequent relationship and split with TV presenter Hayley Palmer in 2023, which lasted a year. Reflecting on his split with Hayley, now 43, Labbett shared with The Sun:. "She's a lovely lady and I was very lucky to date her for a year, and as I said: it's me, I got old." He elaborated: "There's been no one since Hayley. I'm not saying there won't be another one. But I'm certainly not looking." Labbett opened up about his days of solitude, musing:. "I was single, not coincidentally, for a long, long time when I was a 29st maths teacher who knew it was quite hard to attract a partner then. So I'm quite comfortable without a partner." Mark's spokesperson delivered a sharp-witted comeback when asked about the sleepy encounter:. "If his date was as boring as you have suggested, I'm surprised he didn't take a pillow with him!". Celebs Go Dating opted to keep mum on the matter.
