Paul Sinha, who appears on the ITV show The Chase, seemingly appeared to have “blocked” a Twitter user after they branded him a “crabbit”, with his co-star Anne Hegerty also getting involved. The viewer in question started: “Turns out @paulsinha is a bit of a snowflake, pity, he was my favourite Chaser after @anne_hegerty. Bit strange that he got his pants in a bit of a twist over a perfectly civil comment though.” In view of her 117,000 Twitter followers, Anne replied: “What did I miss here?” They replied: “Lol, not much. Think Mr S may have mis-read my intentions a good Scottish word ‘Crabbit’.”(sic)
A Crabbit is a Scottish term which describes a person who is bad-tempered, according to the Collins Dictionary.
However, The Governess did not let them off the hook as she tweeted: “Well, I wouldn’t want to be described as a crabbit.”
In view of his 103,000 Twitter follwers, Paul replied to his fellow Chaser and wrote: “People who get blocked shouldn't take it personally. Unless we actually know each other in which case I understand. Sometimes it's just because I want some peace and quiet.”
This isn't he first time the Smiling Assassin has taken to the micro-blogging site to respond to critics.
The quiz master recently fired back after he was labelled “smug” and “self-absorbed” in a lengthy comment.
