British comedian and The Chase star Paul Sinha has revealed he has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
He's one of the five 'chasers' on the popular game show.
In a blog post, the 49-year-old said he received the diagnosis on May 30th from a consultant neurologist.
He explained he had a "really, really tough two weeks" following the Parkinson's diagnosis - but is vowing to fight the condition with "every breath I have".

He said: "I don’t consider myself unlucky, and whatever the next stage of my life holds for me, many others have it far worse.
"In the time since my Parkinson’s started I have been ludicrously busy, and fully intend to keep Chasing, keep writing and performing comedy, keep quizzing and keep being hopeless at Tasks. Dancing on Ice is, I suspect, out of the question."
He also called on people who want to know how to help to treat him "exactly the same as before".
Fellow 'chaser' Jenny Ryan was among those who sent good wishes to Mr Sinha following his diagnosis.
