The Chase's Paul Sinha's heartfelt reason for proposing to husband with £20 ring
The Chase star Paul Sinha has revealed that he proposed to husband Olly Levy with a £20 ring from the high street chain, Topshop.
The ITV game-show star, 52, tied the knot with a long-term partner back in 2019, but before their special day, Paul decided to get down on one knee and propose with the high street ring, after realising it's not about the worth of the jewellery, but about the thought behind it.
During a recent appearance on the Loose Men panel alongside stars including Vernon Kay, Tommy Fury and Martin Kemp, Paul recalled his 'wonderful' proposal with husband Olly.
Lifting the lid on the special moment, The Chase star explained: "Everyone deserves their moment in the sun and their moment of happiness.

Paul then revealed that he proposed to Oliver with a £20 ring he picked up in TopShop.
"The one thing I knew he wouldn’t value was an expensive ring, that’s not what drives the relationship. It’s companionship and love and having fun, it’s not the value of jewellery," he explained.
Speaking on his personal blog back in 2019, the quiz-master described the wedding as the 'greatest day' of his life.

"Best of all, when I woke up the next morning, I realised: I hadn’t thought about my Parkinson’s once," Paul added.
