Paul Sinha has opened up about his recent loss

The Chase star Paul Sinha has opened up about his recent crushing defeat on the hit game show.

The Sinnerman, as he is affectionately known by viewers, has detailed what it is he's been doing to cope with the loss after he was beaten by tutor Karen and magician Ian with the pair taking home an impressive £100k for their efforts. It's not often a Chaser is beaten so when they are they want to do everything they can to prevent it happening again.

So it may come as no surprise that Paul has admitted that he has already rewound it "again and again and again and again," after the fateful episode aired last week. Now he thinks he already knows where it all went wrong for him on the show.

The Chasers turned out for the NTA's earlier this week

Talking to Metro.co.uk at The National Television Awards he said: "You don’t get better as a chaser if you don’t watch what you did wrong." He then confessed to believing that had he not interrupted one question he would have won.

He added: "It was just that one mistake. If I hadn’t done that, I’d have won the game." But he said he hasn't stressed himself out over it too much as he lost to worthy competitors.

He explained: "If a team plays well and they beat you, I’m relatively okay. But if a team don’t do too well and they win because I was bad, then I’m very annoyed. We’re also aware that if we never lose the audience will hate it."

Paul also said that he has learned to analyse show host Bradley Walsh for giveaway signs on the questions admitting that "you start to work out Bradley’s tone of voice," and that "sometimes he makes a little face when the question’s about to be brutal," but that he "doesn’t know he’s doing it."

Darragh joined the team after an impressive win as a contestant

Paul's co-star Darragh Ennis meanwhile admitted that he will also spend hours watching old episodes back as a training method for each new series and that he doesn't just watch his own but has "watched every single final chase there has ever been on The Chase."

Darragh of course originally starred as a contestant on The Chase putting on such a good show that he was eventually invited to join the cast as a Chaser. He won an impressive £9000 in his cash-builder round against The Sinnerman answering enough questions correctly to make his way back to the team.

His three co-stars all then took lower figures, including two minus offers, meaning that in the final chase when he won he bagged just £1,575.
