Paul Sinha, known as "the Sinnerman" on The Chase, recently opened up about an unexpected consequence of his weight loss journey. The popular chaser has been very open about his health struggles, having been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2017 and Parkinson's disease in 2019.
In an effort to manage his conditions, Paul participated in the ITV documentary Diabetes: The Fast Fix, where he drastically reduced 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 weight loss had a surprising side effect - it cost The Chase a lot of money, as Paul had to replace all of his suits to fit his new figure.
Despite the financial impact, Paul's health was the most important thing to him. In his book, Once Sinha Lifetime: Comedy, Disaster and One Man's Quest for Happiness, he wrote about his successful battle with diabetes and how he continues to manage it. However, two years after his diabetes diagnosis, he revealed that he also suffers from Parkinson's disease.
Parkinson's can cause involuntary shaking, stiff muscles, and slower movement, which could potentially affect Paul's quick thinking abilities on the show. But he remains determined to fight the disease with every breath and has no plans of stepping down from his role on The Chase.
In fact, Paul sees his role on the show as a way to measure the progression of his Parkinson's. He has stated that his results have not gotten worse since his diagnosis, which is a good measure of his brain's ability and function. He has also made it clear that if his abilities do decline, he will make the decision to step down on his own terms.
Outside of his role on The Chase, Paul also recently got married to his partner Oliver Levy in December 2019. When asked about coming out to his mother, Paul shared a funny story about how a friend drunkenly called his home and outed him before he could do it himself. While it wasn't the most ideal way for his mother to find out, Paul still found humor in the situation and joked about having a poll to figure out which friend it was.
Despite his health struggles, Paul's mind remains as sharp as ever on the show. In fact, he believes that The Chase is the funniest show on TV and has the proof to back it up. And in case anyone is wondering, he also confirmed that he is indeed a UK citizen, despite being asked to prove it due to his appearance on the show.
