The Chase star Paul Sinha has spoken about his future on the ITV quiz show as he continues with his five-year battle with Parkinson’s and the effects it has on him

The Chase star Paul Sinha, 54, has revealed what his future holds on the ITV quiz show amid his five-year battle with Parkinson’s.

The popular chaser has featured on the daytime quiz show since 2011 and is known as The Sinnerman on the Bradley Walsh hosted show but he has now given notice of the time that he will call it quits. Speaking about his health battle, Paul has said that he will leave the show if his Parkinson’s starts to impact his ability to perform on the quiz show.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Paul said: “If it ever did, I’d point it out to the producers. I know that one day that point will come, and I don’t want to be a burden on the show.”

This revelation comes after Paul speaking about being diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2019. He said that “my brain is my job” and he fears that the disease will eventually take away his ability to perform in quizzes.

Speaking on ITV’s Loose Women, Paul said: “I refuse to live in the future. I only want to live in the present and enjoy the present. Because I don’t know what my future is. I don’t have the time scale and I don’t know when I’m going to start deteriorating.”

He added: “But I have to deal with it, the best that I can. How can I not? The brain is my job… it worries me, I want my brain to be as good as it can be. What pleases me is that my brain seems to be operating at full [potential].”

One of the main features of Parkinson’s disease is that parts of the brain become progressively damaged over many years. Speaking about how he is being affected at the moment: “I’m tired from time to time, but anyone that’s quizzed with me in the last six months will tell you I am answering questions very very rapidly indeed.”

He said that he will know when the time is right to quit The Chase and wants to have the chance to walk away before he is removed by the producers. Paul said: “I don’t know what my future is, I don’t know my time-scale, I don’t know when I am gong to start deteriorating. I do know that when I stop answering questions at speed, The Chase won’t fire me, I’ll say, ‘It’s been a lovely journey, you’ve treated me very well, see you later.’”
