Although most of the quiz masters on The Chase keep their personal lives to themselves. Paul has previously opened up, telling GuysLikeU, "I am happy with a boyfriend. We are in an open relationship, but can’t say more than that. One of the advantages of being gay is that there is no traditional template for how you are meant to engage with your partner.
"Hetero relationships are supposedly based on the idea of procreation and offering a loving environment for your children, therefore by definition would mean monogamy. Being gay we can make our own template that works for us."
Paul, who is also known by his nickname 'The Sinnerman', joined the popular ITV show with Bradley Walsh back in 2011, with his first episode broadcasting in September.
Congratulations to Paul on his engagement! 💍
