Mark Labbett (born 15 August 1965) is an English television personality and "Chaser" on the ITV game show The Chase in the United Kingdom. He took up this role in 2009 and has since appeared on the American version as their sole Chaser in 2013 and as one of five Chasers on the Australian version since 2016. He has also appeared in several television quiz shows and is a regular in quizzing competitions.
Labbett was born in Tiverton, Devon, to Carolyn and Jon Labbett. He moved to Caldicot, Monmouthshire, in 1998 and then to nearby Newport, in 2003 before moving to Moorgate, Rotherham, in 2013. He now lives in Herefordshire. He obtained a Master of Arts degree in mathematics from Exeter College, Oxford, a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) in secondary education from the University of Exeter and legal CPE and LPC qualifications from the University of Glamorgan (now the University of South Wales). He taught in secondary schools, and worked as a supply teacher in maths and physical education.
Labbett became interested in quizzing when working at Butlins holiday camp, where he supplemented his income with winnings from the quiz machines. His pub quiz team won a weekend in Paris in April 2001 after competing in the national competition, Jumbo Quiz.
