The Chase's Paul Sinha's heartfelt reason for proposing to husband with £20 ring

The Chase star Paul Sinha has revealed that he proposed to husband Olly Levy with a £20 ring from the high street chain, Topshop.

The ITV game-show star, 52, tied the knot with a long-term partner back in 2019, but before their special day, Paul decided to get down on one knee and propose with the high street ring, after realising it's not about the worth of the jewellery, but about the thought behind it.

During a recent appearance on the Loose Men panel alongside stars including Vernon Kay, Tommy Fury and Martin Kemp, Paul recalled his 'wonderful' proposal with husband Olly.

Lifting the lid on the special moment, The Chase star explained: "Everyone deserves their moment in the sun and their moment of happiness.

"You look at someone and you go, "You’re never going to be happier than you are with that one person" and you think, "Why not make it official?"'

Paul then revealed that he proposed to Oliver with a £20 ring he picked up in TopShop.

"The one thing I knew he wouldn’t value was an expensive ring, that’s not what drives the relationship. It’s companionship and love and having fun, it’s not the value of jewellery," he explained.

Speaking on his personal blog back in 2019, the quiz-master described the wedding as the 'greatest day' of his life.

The celebrations had lots of personal touches, including lyrics to the Pet Shop Boys hit Love Comes Quickly being used as the first reading.

Comedian Paul then entertained his 75 guests with a self-written song and dance number at the reception.

"Halfway through the song, I was thinking, "I am having the f**king time of my life," said Paul. "My clan were meeting his clan, and everything was wonderful in the world."

"Best of all, when I woke up the next morning, I realised: I hadn’t thought about my Parkinson’s once," Paul added.

Paul was diagnosed with the disease in May 2018.

Speaking on the Loose Men panel, Paul shared an update on his battle, saying he is 'fighting as hard as ever'.

Discussing his Parkinson’s diagnosis: “I have Parkinson’s. It is a tough call, and it will get tougher for me.

“In the years that I have ahead of me, I want to do my best to show that it doesn’t have to ruin your quality of life, and that you can fight against the stereotypes others have of you.

“For that reason, when I’m out and about, I try even harder to look my best. I want people to know that I am not vanishing, I’m still fighting as hard as ever.”
