THE CHASE's Mark Labbett has taken a huge new step in his budding romance with his TV presenter girlfriend.
Last month, The Sun revealed the quiz master, 57 – AKA The Beast – had wooed Hayley Palmer, 41, on a string of dates.
She's now flown out to sunny Los Angeles so they can spend time together amid their busy schedules and his big U.S. TV return – after being unexpectedly dropped from ABC's version of The Chase.
While it marks their first holiday abroad, rising star Hayley has secured a series of exciting showbiz opportunities on radio and TV across the pond too.
A source said: “Hayley caught a plane to LA on Wednesday to see Mark. He’s working really hard on Master Minds for Game Show Network in the States but wants to make time for her at the weekend.
“She’s been so busy with her own projects back in London, but they’re both determined to make this work.

Mark recently lifted the lid on his new romance. The Chaser was asked if he ever gets up to any quizzes with his new woman – but he's just not had the time.
He told The Mirror: "I’m on the road so much, plus the little matter of a six-year-old boy that I co-parent with, so I try to spend as much time as I can with him.
"I’m going out to film in America next month, and I’m already planning what I’m doing in July and August with Katie to see what weeks work."
Mark ended his seven-year marriage to nurse Katie three years ago, who he met online in 2010. The pair share a son together.
