The Chase star Paul ‘The Sinnerman’ Sinha believes he has coronavirus after ‘social distancing too late’ – OK! magazine
Paul Sinha says he believes he has coronavirus after not self-isolating early enough.
The 49 year old took to social media to announce the news, joking he will sneeze on anybody who upsets him.
The Chase star, who is known as The Sinnerman on the hit ITV quiz show, wrote to his 143,500 followers to inform them of his symptoms, and to warn anybody who may have come into recent contact with him.
He wrote: “Although I cant be sure and i cant be tested it seems likely i have Coronavirus. [sic]
“Started social distancing a few days too late. Anyone upsets me; I’ll be around to sneeze in your home.”

The professional quizzer continued: “Me and Olly hosted a charity quiz night on March 10.
“Since then I don’t think i’ve been within coughing distance of anyone. I cant remember the last time i saw anyone who wasn’t my husband.
“Btw, as you can imagine I’ve had a lot of mates. medics or otherwise, in contact. [sic]

“It seems that loads of us may have had it in the last few weeks, but the range of symptoms is very variable.
“The suspicious symptom, for me, is the exhaustion. New territory,” he continued.
Paul hinted he believed he had contracted the illness in a tweet on Saturday night, in which he wrote: “Cough, slight fever, weakness, exhaustion.
“Utter exhaustion. Good thing I’ve not been wandering round pubs ‘living my life whatever’.”

Last June, Paul announced he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in an emotional post.
He wrote in a blog post: “On the evening of Thursday May 30th, an experienced consultant neurologist calmly informed me that I had Parkinson’s disease.
“It was a devastating denouement to a medical odyssey that began in September 2017 with a sudden-onset, frozen right shoulder, and took in an unexpected diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, a lifestyle transformation that enabled me to lose two stone, and a shoulder operation in January this year.

“It has been a really, really tough two weeks. Cancelling my run at the Edinburgh Fringe, missing the World Quizzing Championships to have brain scans, performing club sets whilst emotionally bewildered, and of course working my way through my loved ones, delivering the bad news.”
The NHS defines Parkinson’s disease as a “condition in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged over many years.”
The three main symptoms are slow movement, involuntary shaking of particular parts of the body, and stiff and inflexible muscles.
The disease is caused by a loss of nerve cells in part of the brain called the substantia nigra, leading to a reduction in a chemical called dopamine in the brain.
