Paul's Costly Weight Loss
Paul Sinha, famously known as "the Sinnerman" on the popular show The Chase, has recently opened up about an unexpected consequence of his weight loss journey. In addition to sharing his health struggles with Type 2 diabetes and Parkinson's disease, Paul has revealed that his weight loss has cost ITV a significant amount of money.
After being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2017 and Parkinson's in 2019, Paul participated in the ITV documentary "Diabetes: The Fast Fix" where he restricted his calorie intake to 800 a day. This resulted in a two-stone weight loss and the remission of his diabetes. However, it also meant that ITV had to replace his suits due to his smaller size.
In his book, "Once Sinha Lifetime: Comedy, Disaster and One Man's Quest for Happiness," Paul shared, "I lost plenty of weight, costing The Chase dozens of pounds in replacement suits. Far more importantly, I successfully put my diabetes in remission." Despite the financial impact on the show, Paul's health was the priority.
Two years after his diabetes diagnosis, Paul revealed that he also suffers from Parkinson's disease. As a quick-thinker on The Chase, the disease's symptoms of involuntary shaking, stiff muscles, and slower movement could pose a challenge. However, Paul remains determined to fight it with every breath.
Despite his health struggles, Paul has continued to star on The Chase and has no plans of stepping down. He even sees it as a way to measure the progression of his Parkinson's, stating, "It's a good way of measuring my brain's ability and function." He also credits his partner, Oliver Levy, for helping him through the difficult times.
In December 2019, Paul and Oliver tied the knot, and during an appearance on Loose Women, Paul shared the story of how he was outed to his mother by a friend at a party. He joked about having a poll to figure out which one of his friends it was, but ultimately, he was grateful for their support. Despite the lack of control in how his mother found out, Paul's mind remains as sharp as ever.
