ITV game show. Paul, who is known to The Chase fans as The Sinnerman, made the revelation to host Bradley and the contestants on the show after a question about colours came up. Bradley asked The Chase hopeful and Paul to answer a question about the Wallace and Gromit film The Wrong Trousers.

He wanted them to clarify what colour rubber glove Feathers McGraw uses to disguise himself, to which the contestant confidently pressed the answer as ‘red’, saying she had seen the film several times and was sure of her answer. Bradley shared the answer on the screen with The Chase hopefuls and it was indeed red, while Paul had incorrectly chosen the answer yellow. Paul then said: “You know me, even if it was my favourite film I wouldn't know the answer to that question.

” Bradley questioned: “You're not colour-blind, are you?”Paul replied: “I'm not colour-blind, I can see colours. I can't visualise colours in my head. “I can see that lovely purple tie, but tomorrow, if I had to try and visualise what his tie looked like, I wouldn't be able to visualise it.

”The condition Paul may be referring to is aphantasia, which is a relatively unstudied phenomenon that involves not being able to visualize images in your mind. The pro quizzer has been open about his diagnosis with Parkinson's Disease at the age of 49, which he received in May 2019. In a blog post at the time he said he was initially “in shock”, but “feels far more prepared for the new challenges ahead” now he has a treatment plan in place.
