The Chase star Paul Sinha has gotten candid about his Parkinson’s diagnosis at 49, revealing his hopes to inspire others who are battling the illness. The English TV personality, 53, was diagnosed with the degenerative neurological disorder in May 2019, however, he refuses to let the illness “define him”. The broadcaster shed light on his journey since his Parkinson’s diagnosis, telling the Daily Star : “I’m trying to prove to the world that Parkinson’s doesn’t have to be the end of somebody’s story, that you can carry on doing the things you love.
The important thing is to not let it define you.” He gushed over the support he had received from the popular ITV quiz show Beat The Chasers, a spin-off of The Chase and expressed his “massive pride” for his role in the series, which requires speed and quick reflexes. “I feel that I’ve shown in the past three or four years that you can do it whilst having Parkinson’s.
There’s no limit to what you feel you’re able to do,” he said. Sinha said that his role on the quizzing game show helps him monitor his Parkinson’s progression as he revealed his abilities thankfully haven’t worsened since he was diagnosed. “It’s a good way of measuring my brain’s ability and function.
I’ve always said that if I felt that the ability was going down, I’d call it myself, and I still stand by that. But it’s definitely not going down, so that’s fine.” The quizzer revealed on Good Morning Britain last.
