Paul Sinha looked smart as he joined his husband Oliver Levy at the Attitude Pride Awards Europe 2025 in London on Friday. 

The Chase star, 55, wore a pale blue linen suit which he paired with a floral patterned shirt. 

Posing for photos at the Peninsula, he smiled alongside Oliver, who opted for a beige jacket and matching trousers.  

The couple, who married in 2019, were joined by Russell Tovey and Luke Evans as the evening got underway. 

The event, supported by British Airways, celebrated seven inspirational queer people from the UK and wider Europe. 

Russell, 43, best known for his role in the BBC’s Being Human, wore a grey linen jacket, cargo trousers and a white shirt.

Paul recently admitted he suffered two heart attacks in the same week but refused to call an ambulance for a ‘stupid’ reason 

Paul recently admitted he suffered two heart attacks in the same week but refused to call an ambulance for a ‘stupid’ reason. 

The comedian told of his ordeal on Good Morning Britain to presenters Susanna Reid, 54, and Ed Balls, 58. 

Paul AKA The Sinnerman said on the ITV breakfast news show that the ordeal happened while he was at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2023 to perform a run of shows. 

He explained of his set at the Scottish arts festival: ‘It was a bit of a wild show. 

‘It was very much about my life as a gay, disabled son of immigrants but it was quite a political show, and it was a big show.

‘I was in a room with 400 people in and it all got on top of me and I had two heart attacks in the same Edinburgh Fringe. Two! Week number one and week number three.’ 

Paul explained the first heart attack happened while he was ‘shaking the hand of Levi Roots’, who he had been introduced to in a bar. 

As he greeted the businessman, known for pitching Reggae Reggae Sauce on Dragons’ Den, he felt ‘a crushing, tightening chest pain’.

Having previously worked as a GP before entering showbusiness, the quizzer explained: ‘As my years of medicine made me remember, it was not like anything I’d ever felt before and I knew it was cardiac. 

‘But I didn’t want to cause a scene so I just walked into a cab. 

‘I didn’t want to call an ambulance because I thought, “I might as well just get into a cab to take me to the nearest hospital as quickly as possible”, which is what I did.’ 

Susanna was incredulous at his calm response – but added this may well have gotten him to A&E more quickly, to which he replied: ‘It might well have done, yeah.’ 

Despite his suspicions it was cardiac arrest, Paul said: ‘The first time, they didn’t diagnose it properly so they sent me home. 

He explained: ‘I was in a room with 400 people in and it all got on top of me and I had two heart attacks in the same Edinburgh Fringe’. Pictured: Paul performing in 2013

‘And it was the second time that they said, “These have been two small heart attacks”.’ 

But he was still determined to return to the stage as quickly as possible: ‘I said, “Can I carry on?”, and they said, “We’re not going to tell you what to do”.

‘So, I carried on. But looking back on it, that’s not the right thing to do.

‘I know why I did it – because of the Edinburgh Festival and I didn’t want to lose a huge amount of money.’ 

Paul – now known mainly as a Chaser, putting guests’ general knowledge to the test as they pursue a cash prize – was on GMB to mark being in stand-up for 30 years. 

Elsewhere in the interview, he said having Parkinson’s disease, which he was diagnosed with in 2019, had given him fodder for his shows. 

He said of the neurodegenerative disease: ‘I do lots of jokes about it. It’s as simple as that. 

‘You deal with the cards you’ve been dealt, and if you’ve been given a comedy goldmine, as Parkinson’s is, then you deal with it.

‘I mean, as far as I’m aware, no other comedians at the Edinburgh Fringe will be talking about their own struggles with neurological degeneration so might as well be me.’ 

Good Morning Britain is available to watch on weekdays from 6am on ITV1 and to stream on ITVX.
