Hayley Palmer confesses thinking about her ex Mark Labbett with another woman ‘brings it all back’ as she admits she turned the channel over after being ‘triggered’ by his recent interview

Hayley Palmer has admitted thinking about her ex Mark Labbett with someone else ‘brings it all back’ as she speaks candidly six months after the couple’s split.

Mark appeared on Loose Women on Thursday as he insisted he is still single despite Hayley’s claims he dumped her because she ‘didn’t want to divorce his ex-wife’.

And now Hayley has admitted she was forced to switch the TV channel after watching it on screen, as she admitted she found it ‘triggering’.

Speaking to MailOnline, Hayley admitted: ‘It was really upsetting to see him appear on my screen, and I had to turn away. I didn’t expect it to feel like this.

“The last time he was there, I was sitting next to him and we were talking about celebrating our one-year anniversary, and exactly a week later my world fell apart.”

She added, “To be honest, whenever I think about him with anyone, it all comes back.”

The TV presenter, 42, admitted she was forced to change the TV channel after seeing it on screen as she admitted she found it ‘triggering’.

Hayley explained that she was surprised by how she felt as she continued: “It was triggering. I didn’t think it would be like this because I’ve worked really hard on my mindset and I’ve ended up in a good place.”

Mark and Hayley announced their split in May, just days after their one-year anniversary.

Hayley previously claimed Mark is ‘living up to his nickname’ after he ‘blindsided’ her by brutally breaking up with her over the phone.

She also revealed that Mark ended their year-long romance because he didn’t want to divorce his ex-wife Katie.

Speak with The sunHayley explained: “He really lived up to his name. The Beast was a beast.

‘It came as a complete shock. I thought we were very happy. I am heartbroken and blindsided. His behavior has been beastly.”

Hayley added that she was disappointed that Mark didn’t discuss their relationship issues in person and then blocked him from contacting her.

After celebrating their one-year anniversary on social media in May, Mark later claimed there was too much of an age difference between them.

‘She likes to dress up and go to parties and showbiz events, while he prefers to stay at home.

‘Mark felt there was too much of an age difference between them for long-term success. They’re still friendly.’

‘Aside from his work in television and filming, Mark enjoys a quiet life and spends time with his son. He is still hopeful that one day he can meet someone he can settle down with.”

The pair had been dating since early 2023, with Mark previously admitting he was ‘a very lucky man’ to be with her.

Sources claimed the star wooed the TV presenter on a series of dates after being ‘friends’ for some time, following his split from wife Katie in 2020 after six years of marriage.

At the time, he cited the lockdown, his mental health and their age differences as contributing factors to the breakup.

Mark mentioned his wife during the Loose Women episode while discussing his weight loss journey.

Citing the factors that helped him, Mark said: ‘It’s a bit of everything, walking the dog helped.

“When the pandemic happened, my wife was working as a nurse in the hospital, I was taking care of my three-year-old son all day, it almost killed me. I never got around to having evening meals.’

“At least you won’t show your panties this week!” he captioned it, alongside a “crying with laughter” emoji.

Lianne also shared the photo in her Stories and said: ‘A little different from last Saturday… Best evening with my best buddy.’
