Paul Sinha says 'that's almost unheard of' after Chase contestant's admission

Paul Sinha told a Chase contest 'that's almost unheard of' after learning what they did in their spare time.

Rob, from Newcastle, stepped up to take on the popular ITV quiz show. Before getting down to business, host Bradley Walsh tried to get to know the legal prosecutor and asked what he did when he's not in the courtroom.

He admitted to Brad that his longest running hobby included collecting Star Wars themed Lego sets. The 32-year-old said that it all started when he was a kid and it had stuck ever since.

After an impressive quickfire round, Rob was faced with Chaser Paul Sinha who put the usual cash offers before him. But, he had some choice words to go with them.

Paul said: "I knew you were something different when you said you have a collection of Lego Star Wars and you're married. That's almost unheard of!"

Rob joked that, before appearing on the show, his wife said he'd find himself single if he took a low offer. He said: "I was told if I took the low offer I wouldn't have a wife anymore so I'd be back to the normal Star Wars Lego collector status."

Many took to X (Twitter) about the exchange that didn't leave Rob flustered heading into the all-important quiz. One said: "That's was a bit harsh?"

Another wrote: "People have stranger hobbies!". A third commented: "Glad Rob took that as intended, a joke!"

Rob ploughed on and added thousands of pounds to the final sum of money, won by teammates David, Eleanor and Carol. But in the end, it wasn't enough to beat Paul in the final round.

Despite having a full team of four players, aiming to claim a share of the £25,000 prize pot, the Sinnerman caught them with seconds to spare. Bradley described them as a "super" team but said that luck was unfortunately not with them today.
