Paul Sinha believes it is "likely" he has coronavirus.

The \'Chase\' quizzer - who revealed in June last year he had been diagnosed with Parkinson\'s disease - suspects he may have been struck by the virus, which has killed nearly 15,000 people worldwide, and claims he may have started social distancing "a few days too late".

He wrote on Twitter: "Although I cant be sure and i cant be tested it seems likely i have Coronavirus .Started social distancing a few days too late. Anyone upsets me; I\'ll be around to sneeze in your home (sic)"

The 49-year-old star "cannot remember" the last time he saw someone who wasn\'t his husband Olly.

He wrote: "Me and Olly hosted a charity quiz night on March 10. Since then I don\'t think i\'ve been within coughing distance of anyone. I cant remember the last time i saw anyone who wasn\'t my husband.

"Btw, as you can imagine I\'ve had a lot of mates. medics or otherwise, in contact. It seems that loads of us may have had it in the last few weeks, but the range of symptoms is very variable. The suspicious symptom, for me, is the exhaustion. New territory. (sic)"

Bradley Walsh cried when Beat The Chasers player won

Paul recently admitted he has "lost" his sense of "fear" since being diagnosed with Parkinson\'s.

The star - who used to be a doctor, and is also a stand-up comedian - said: "There\'s a fire and ferocity about the material, because I\'m going for laughs in some pretty bleak places.

"The thing that has changed most since the diagnosis, is that I\'ve lost my fear. I\'ve always been one of those comics who doesn\'t say much on panel shows because I\'m terrified of saying the wrong thing or offending the wrong person. But now, I\'ve lost all that. I\'ve got the exaggerated carpe diem that a lot of people get with their diagnosis."
