Despite stepping down from as host of University Challenge after 29 years, Paxman will not be leaving British screens just yet. He is set to present a one-off special on ITV about his diagnosis.One of the doctors said he had noticed that the 72-year-old’s face had acquired a “Parkinson’s mask”.“I was having a walk in the square across the way. There was ice around and I had the dog with me – the dog was on a lead.
“I’d gone straight down on my hooter, which, as you can see, is not small. Cuts all over the place. I was a real mess. And when I was in A&E, a doctor walked in and said ‘I think you’ve got Parkinson’s’. Parkinson’s disease is a condition in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged over many years, according to the NHS website.
