The Chase’s Paul Sinha had hit hit back at a troll who mocked his grammar on Twitter.
Paul – nicknamed The Sinnerman on the Bradley Walsh-fronted quiz show – was targeted by the troll after they noticed a grammatical error on one of his tweets.
Paul had tweeted: “Opinions are like a***holes.
“Each time you display your’s in a tweet, you do end up losing followers.”
One user replied: “You’ll also lose followers when you don’t know that ‘yours’ doesn’t require an apostrophe.”
But Paul was having none of it, clapping back: “I think there is a big difference between ‘don’t know’ and ‘I make mistakes due to changed life circumstances.’
“Nonetheless having read your tweets, I understand your sense of intellectual superiority.
“After all…”
It’s not clear what “changed life circumstances” Paul was referring to.
He recently appeared on Loose Women to discuss his battle with Parkinson’s disease.
The quiz master and former GP told that he refused to let the condition, but disclosed that he would quit The Chase if his brainpower ever slowed.
While it’s as yet had no effect on his brainpower, Paul remarked: “I don’t know what my future is, I don’t know my timescale, I don’t know when I am going to start deteriorating.
“I do know that when I stop answering questions at speed, The Chase won’t fire me, I’ll say, ‘It’s been a lovely journey, you’ve treated me very well, see you later.'”
And despite his diagnosis, Paul remains positive about life.
“You have to be positive,” he added, “because health is dependent on positivity, positivity increases your chances of wellbeing and I don’t have the options of being mawkishly miserable about the whole thing.
“I’ve got Parkinson’s disease, I am always going to have Parkinson’s disease unless they find a miracle cure, I’ve got to deal with this the best I can.”
Paul was diagnosed last year, branding his husband Olly Levy his “rock” since.
“When we got engaged I don’t think he knew how traumatic the year was going to be,” Paul said.
