The Chase star Paul Sinha is 'fighting' Parkinson's battle as he makes Loose Men appearance

TV's Paul Sinha has insisted he is "fighting" Parkinson's after being diagnosed with the degenerative disorder.

The comedian, who is famous for his regular appearances on The Chase, will appear on Loose Men to talk about his 2019 diagnosis alongside Radio 2 presenter Vernon Kay, boxer Tommy Fury and Martin Kemp. The all-male panel is to mark Mental Health Awareness Week on ITV, the MirrorOnline reports.

Discussing his Parkinson’s diagnosis, he said: “I have Parkinson’s. It is a tough call, and it will get tougher for me. In the years that I have ahead of me, I want to do my best to show that it doesn’t have to ruin your quality of life, and that you can fight against the stereotypes others have of you. For that reason, when I’m out and about, I try even harder to look my best. I want people to know that I am not vanishing, I’m still fighting as hard as ever.”
