The Chase star Paul Sinha has revealed how plans for his 50th birthday bash form part of his approach to battling Parkinson’s.
The quiz master and stand-up comedian, 49, is set to celebrate the big five-oh in May next year and intends to mark the milestone by rocking out at a concert.
In an interview with iNews, Paul said he got the idea from Sky Sports’ Dave Clark, who is also living with the disease.

Paul told the newspaper he is determined to keep on “living [his] life” and insisted his work as a stand-up can continue “as long as [his] brain is fine”.
He said: “I spoke to Sky Sports presenter Dave Clark, who has Parkinson’s, and he says always have something to plan for.
“I’ve just bought tickets for the Pet Shop Boys, who are playing The 02 next May on my 50th birthday.”
Paul is showing no signs of slowing down any time soon.

In an emotional blog post about the win, he wrote: “I retired to another room and wept for two hours.
