The Chase's Paul Sinha pens sweet message to Gogglebox fans after rare appearance

Celebrity Gogglebox welcomed a new face to the couch critic line up last week.

Paul Sinha, best known for being a quizmaster on ITV's The Chase, joined the cast of the Channel 4 show for a Pride special on Friday night. He was joined by his husband Oliver 'Olly' Levy.

The one-off episode was a part of Channel 4's 50 Years of Pride celebrations, with some of the UK's best-loved LGBTQ+ personalities set to co-star - including the stars of Netflix's Heartstopper and Strictly Come Dancing.

Since appearing on the show Paul has been inundated with nice messages from his fans. Today, he took to Twitter to pen a sweet message over the response he had received.

The 52-year-old wrote: "Thanks to those who said nice things about me and the husband on Gogglebox last week. We're an unusual, socially awkward couple, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves."

Some of his 222,000 followers commented on the post to show further support. Simon said: "I was in awe at how chilled you were at home in comparison to your larger than life quiz persona! But you both looked comfortable in each other’s company which is all that counts Sir!"

Craig said: "I thoroughly enjoyed watching. More please x" Meanwhile, Ian said: "Hilarious. Me and the Mrs are hoping you'll be back for sure!"

It isn't known how or when exactly they first met, but Paul first told fans he was dating Olly, who is also a keen quizzer, via the site GuysLikeU in 2017. Paul proposed to Oliver in January 2019, revealing the news on social media with a simple announcement.

It read: "I proposed today. He said yes. Thus starts yet another diet." The pair tied the knot later that year, marrying at London's Mayfair Library in December 2019.
