The Chase’s Mark 'The Beast' Labbett branded ‘creepy’ and 'sexist' for Carol Vorderman tweet

One of the faces of ITV’s The Chase has been slammed for a “creepy” tweet he sent about one its famous contestants.

Mark ‘The Beast’ Labbett took to Twitter to comment on Carol Vorderman’s appearance on a celebrity special of Beat The Chasers, but some took offence.

In a tweet, Mark, 56, said: “I don’t know what is more impressive about @carolvorders , her intellect or her more tangible assets #superstar #BeatTheChasers.”

Some of his near 150,000 followers found the tweet to be cheeky, others took offence.

In response, one users said it was a “bit weird”.

Another said it was “such a creepy tweet”.

A third tweet replied: "Really? This is 2022 not 1972! A bit creepy and sexist".

However, Carol, 61, seemed to find the funny side, replying: “You beast you…”

The former Countdown star didn't perform too well on the show, but she did leave an impression on many - including "The Beast" - whilst wearing a skin tight red dress, with one viewer claiming her outfit "broke the internet".
