Paul Sinha has recounted the moment he suffered two heart attacks at the Edinburgh Fringe festival but kept quiet as he 鈥榙idn鈥檛 want to cause a scene鈥. The Chase star, 55, who is also a comedian, opened up about the sudden health scare he faced during a 2023 run at the iconic festival in the Capital. Speaking on Tuesday morning’s episode of Good Morning Britain, he said: “It was a bit of a wild show. It was very much about my life as a gay, disabled son of immigrants, but it was quite a political show, and it was a big show. I was in a room with 400 people in and it all got on top of me and I had two heart attacks in the same Edinburgh Fringe. Two! Week number one and week number three.” He explained the first heart attack was while he was 鈥榮haking the hand of Levi Roots鈥, and the quiz guru decided to excuse himself rather than get someone to ring for an ambulance. Paul said: “I didn鈥檛 want to cause a scene. I didn鈥檛 want to call an ambulance. “I thought I might as well just get into a cab to take me to the nearest hospital as quick as possible, which is what I did.” Paul was discharged without a proper diagnosis but even suffering a second one, the Chaser, who described the first heart attack as 鈥漬ot like anything I鈥檝e ever felt before鈥, was still determined to continue his Fringe run. He recalled: “The first time they didn鈥檛 diagnose it properly, so they sent me home and the second time they said, 鈥淭hese have been two small heart attacks. “And I said, 鈥淐an I carry on?鈥 And they said, 鈥淲e鈥檙e not going to tell you what to do鈥. “So I carried on. But looking back on it, that鈥檚 not the right thing to do. “I know why I did it, because of the Edinburgh Festival, and I didn鈥檛 want to lose a huge amount of money.” Paul is best known for being a Chaser, nicknamed The Sinnerman, on the ITV show. However, he is also a former GP who has spent three decades practicing his craft as a comedian, the Metro reports. The 55-year-old was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019 and he admitted on GMB that he makes his 鈥榗omedy goldmine鈥 condition, which is a neurodegenerative disease which affects both motor and non-motor systems, part of his stand-up shows. Paul quipped: “I do lots of jokes about it. It鈥檚 as simple as that.
