Paul Sinha, the beloved chaser from The Chase, recently shared a surprising consequence of his weight loss journey. In an admirable effort to improve his health, Paul had been open about his struggles with Type 2 diabetes and Parkinson's disease since his diagnoses in 2017 and 2019, respectively. In an ITV documentary called Diabetes: The Fast Fix, Paul committed to a strict diet of no more than 800 calories a day, resulting in a two stone weight loss and the remission of his diabetes.
However, while Paul's health improved, his sudden weight loss had an unintended side effect - one that ended up costing ITV a lot of money. As Paul humorously revealed in his book Once Sinha Lifetime: Comedy, Disaster and One Man's Quest for Happiness, his new slim figure meant that the production team had to replace all his suits, resulting in dozens of pounds lost for the show.
But the most important result of Paul's weight loss was the successful remission of his diabetes. This was a huge victory for the TV personality and comedian, who had also been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease just two years prior. As a quick-thinker on The Chase, Paul was aware that his condition could potentially pose challenges for him in the future. However, he was determined to fight it with every breath and continue his role on the show.
And despite his diagnosis, Paul has no plans of stepping down from The Chase anytime soon. In fact, he sees it as a way to measure the progression of his Parkinson's disease, as his results on the show have remained consistent. He has always maintained that if his abilities were to decline, he would choose to leave the show himself. But for now, he is grateful to still be able to showcase his sharp mind on The Chase.
In the months following his Parkinson's diagnosis, Paul tied the knot with his partner Oliver Levy in December 2019. During an appearance on Loose Women, Paul shared a personal moment from his journey of coming out as gay to his mother. He revealed that a mystery friend had accidentally outed him to his mother at a house party, taking away his agency to do so himself. Despite the unconventional way of coming out, Paul has embraced his true self and is grateful for the love and support of his loved ones.
And while his health journey has had its challenges, Paul's sharp mind and witty humor remain as strong as ever. He continues to entertain and astound viewers on The Chase, proving that nothing can stop him from being the Sinnerman. And as for the mystery friend who outed him, Paul jokingly suggests having a poll to reveal their identity, but not without adding a cheeky comment about the bookies' odds and Rishi Sunak.
