Chase star Paul ‘The Sinnerman’ Sinha has revealed when he plans to leave the popular ITV quiz show.
The 54-year-old TV quiz show was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019 and has regularly spoken openly about living with the condition.
But speaking to the Daily Star on Saturday, Paul revealed he would leave the show if the illness started to affect his abilities, admitting he wouldn’t want to “be a burden”.
“At the moment my Parkinson’s doesn’t affect the way I act on the show, it doesn’t affect the way I answer questions,” he said.
‘If it were ever like that, I would point it out to the producers. I know that one day that time will come and I don’t want to be a burden on the program.”
Chase star Paul ‘The Sinnerman’ Sinha has revealed to the Daily Star when he plans to leave the popular ITV quiz show on Saturday.
The 54-year-old TV quiz show was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019 and has regularly spoken openly about living with the disease.
Paul revealed that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s in May 2019. The comedian and quiz expert provided a health update via his Twitter page and vowed to “fight with every breath I have.”
Expanding further in an impassioned blog post, the TV personality said he was initially “in shock” but “feels much more prepared for the new challenges ahead” now that he has a treatment plan in place.
Showing off her trademark humour, she also joked that an appearance on Dancing On Ice is now “out of the question”, before thanking her family and fiancé for their support following her diagnosis.
Paul, who has been the fourth hunter, known as ‘The Smiling Killer’, since 2011, admitted at the time that it had been ‘a very, very tough two weeks’ since he received his diagnosis.
But he also said that now that he had a treatment plan he felt “prepared for the new challenges ahead.”
Parkinson’s is a condition in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged.
The three main symptoms are: involuntary tremors (tremor), slow movements, stiff and inflexible muscles. As the condition progresses, the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease may worsen.
Just seven months after his diagnosis, Paul married his long-term partner, Oliver Levy.

In June this year, Paul said his mother discovered he was gay after a friend outed him drunk at a house party.
At first he wanted to break the news of his sexuality gently, but was robbed of the opportunity thanks to a cruel joke made at his expense.
Appearing on an edition of Loose Women, she said: “Coming out to my mother was an interesting process.
“Someone at a house party we were hosting had too many drinks, dialed my number and said ‘your son is gay’ and hung up the phone.”
‘That wasn’t how I wanted her to find out, I thought it would be more organic and sweet. It was difficult to have your agency over a decision taken away from you’ (pictured: Sinha’s parents)
He added: “That’s not how I wanted her to find out, I thought it would be more organic and sweet.” It was difficult to have your agency taken away from a decision.
Paul also admitted that he still doesn’t know who made the call.
He joked: “Let’s do a survey, I’ll give you a list of all the friends he’s ever had.”
