The Chase’s Paul Sinha engaged

Paul Sinha has got engaged.
‘The Chase’ quizzer took to Twitter to reveal he had popped the question to his boyfriend, who accepted his proposal, and he is now planning to shed a few pounds ahead of his big day.
He wrote: "I proposed today. He said yes. Thus starts yet another diet."
With the romantic chase now seemingly over for 48-year-old Paul, he was congratulated by the show’s Twitter account.
A message on the social media page read: "Congratulations Paul!"
In November 2017, Paul claimed he had made several references to being gay during episodes of ‘The Chase’, but they had "mysteriously never made the edit".
He said: "I assumed everyone knew I was gay. I have been on the show six years and I have made lots of references to being gay.
"But they mysteriously never made the edit."
However, he did reference his sexuality on one episode when he got a question wrong about how many pieces there are to a bikini.
He explained: "There was one time that did make the edit when I was asked how many pieces was there to a bikini.
"Now you couldn’t ask a question more simple and out of my comfort zone. But I got it wrong.
"Bradley looked at me at the end and said: ‘Bikini?" And I said that question would fall to the only Chaser whose lifestyle choices means I don’t get to see a bikini.
"So that was me coming out of the closet. I had gay on my Twitter feed for years."
