Paul was initially discharged without a diagnosis
The Chase star Paul Sinha has revealed how he ended up in hospital after suffering two heart attacks in the space of three weeks.
The 55-year-old TV personality and comedian appeared on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday (June 24) and revealed he suffered a health scare at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival a few years back.

Paul Sinha hospitalised after two heart attacks
While talking to hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls, Paul, also known as The Sinnerman on ITV’s The Chase, revealed that his comedy show at the iconic festival was “wild”
He explained: “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.”
Paul then explained he suffered two heart attacks at the event, adding: “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.”
He stated that the first heart attack happened when he was “shaking the hand of Levi Roots”. Paul said he excused himself from the situation instead of asking someone to ring for an ambulance.
“I didn’t want to cause a scene, I didn’t want to call an ambulance. I thought I might as well just get into a cab to take me to the nearest hospital as quick as possible, which is what I did,” he added.
The first time, Paul, who is a medically trained doctor, was discharged without a proper diagnosis. However, the second time, he was told he had suffered “two small heart attacks”.
Paul said he felt a “crushing, tightening chest pain” which was “not like anything I had ever felt before”. Due to not wanting to “cause a scene”, he instead “walked into a cab”.

‘That’s not the right thing to do’
However, despite the health scare, Paul was determined to continue having fun at the Fringe.
“I said to the doctors: ‘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,” he explained.
Reflecting on that time, Paul said he didn’t pull out of the festival due to not wanting to “lose a huge amount of money”.
