Paul Sinha, also known as "the Sinnerman" on The Chase, recently shared an unexpected consequence of his weight loss journey. He revealed that his rapid weight loss ended up costing ITV, the network that airs the show, a significant amount of money. Paul has been open about his health journey since being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2017 and Parkinson's in 2019.
In 2017, Paul took part in the ITV documentary Diabetes: The Fast Fix, where he limited his calorie intake to just 800 a day. As a result, he lost two stone and was able to put his diabetes into remission. However, this also meant that he had to replace all of his suits on The Chase to accommodate his new size.
Despite the unexpected cost, Paul sees his weight loss as a success because it has helped him manage his diabetes. He wrote about his experience in his book, Once Sinha Lifetime: Comedy, Disaster and One Man's Quest for Happiness.
Apart from his diabetes, Paul also revealed in 2019 that he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. This condition can cause involuntary shaking, stiff muscles, and slower movement, which could potentially affect his performance as a chaser on the show. However, Paul remains determined to fight against it and has no plans of stepping down from The Chase anytime soon.
In the months following his Parkinson's diagnosis, Paul married his partner Oliver Levy in December 2019. He shared his experience of coming out to his mother, which was unexpectedly done by a friend at a house party. Although he had planned to tell his mother himself, the agency of his decision was taken away from him. Paul joked about having a poll to find out who the friend was, but he still doesn't know to this day.
Despite his health conditions, Paul's mind is as sharp as ever on The Chase. He continues to impress viewers with his quick thinking and trivia knowledge. In fact, he sees his role on the show as a way to measure the progression of his Parkinson's. As long as he feels capable, he is determined to keep going.
