Paul Sinha, better known as 'the Sinnerman' on The Chase, recently shared an unexpected consequence of his weight loss journey. In his book, Once Sinha Lifetime: Comedy, Disaster and One Man's Quest for Happiness, Paul revealed that his significant weight loss not only cost him several pounds in replacing his suits, but also put ITV out of pocket. This revelation came after Paul was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2017 and Parkinson's disease in 2019, prompting him to take part in the ITV documentary Diabetes: The Fast Fix where he reduced his calorie intake to 800 a day. As a result, he lost two stone and put his diabetes into remission.
Despite this unintended side effect, Paul remains grateful for his successful weight loss journey and the improvement in his health. However, he also shared the difficulties of living with Parkinson's, a disease that causes involuntary shaking, stiff muscles, and slower movement. As a quick-thinker, Paul's condition could potentially affect his performance on The Chase, but he remains determined to fight it with every breath.
Despite his diagnosis, Paul continues to star in The Chase and has no plans of stepping down anytime soon. He even sees the show as a way to measure the progression of his Parkinson's, which he says has not gotten worse since his diagnosis. In fact, he believes that his brain's ability and function have not declined, giving him the confidence to continue appearing on the show.
In December 2019, just two years after his Parkinson's diagnosis, Paul tied the knot with his partner Oliver Levy. However, he revealed on Loose Women that he was outed to his mother by a drunken friend at a party, taking away his agency to come out to her himself. Despite this, Paul continues to have a sharp mind and a great sense of humor, joking about having a poll to find out which of his friends had outed him.
