The Chase star Paul Sinha, 50, has given his 155,000 Twitter followers a rare insight into his wedding day with husband Olly Levy. The quizzer tied the knot with his long-term partner in December last year and reminisced on the occasion by sharing a video from the couple’s big day this afternoon.
Paul, who has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, explained to fans that by watching the funny drunken video of himself and Olly attempting to sing a duet, he is reminding himself of “how happy he was” at the time.
Alongside the clip, The Sinnerman star wrote: “I’ve been trying to load this for a while.
“0130 my wedding. Our plans to perform The Impossible Dream in alcoholic ruin.
“I don’t know any of the words. Just keep reminding myself how happy I was. An epic yawn from one of my mates.”

“’When I got married, you wouldn’t believe how many things went wrong. This is your day. These are your people. Now, go out there and enjoy yourself’.”
He continued: “At this point, I saw my husband. I said, ‘Is there any chance these visuals are going to work?’. He replied, ‘I’ve grown weary of the fight’.
“And I looked in his eyes, and I pondered the sheer effort that both of us had put in. And I thought to myself, ‘I am going to get absolutely s**t-faced’.”
The TV personality explained: “The realisation that, in the overall scheme of things, the failure to provide a visual accompaniment to the playlist was about the hundred-and-seventeenth most important priority for me.
“Suddenly, I was able to forget my troubles, and effortlessly glide through the company of three-hundred beloved guests.
“The entertainment ended with me and Olly, stood on chairs, destroying Carter USM’s excellent cover of The Impossible Dream. Best of all, when I woke up the next morning, I realised: I hadn’t thought about my Parkinson’s once.”
Paul told fans about his Parkinson’s diagnosis in May 2019 and he declared he would fight the disease “with every breath”.
He added in a blog post, that after facing the initial “shock” of his diagnosis, he “feels far more prepared for the new challenges ahead” with a treatment plan.
