You'll NEVER guess which TV brainbox this adorable youngster grew up to be...
HE IS best known for his unmissable fashion and quick wit on one of Britain's favourite quiz shows, but this brainy star was once a humble kid scooping trophies for Best Camper…
Chaser Paul Sinha jokes about contestant's 'busy' love life
Famous for his signature white suit on The Chase, comedian and quizzer Paul Sinha, now 46, is nearly unrecognisable as an adorable scout back in 1979.
Standing proudly with his trophy for Best Camper, nine-year-old Paul looks a far cry from the sharp and intimidating Sinnerman on the ITV gameshow.
The sweet throwback snap sees his clasping his award, decked out in his uniform complete with shorts and a striped neckerchief.

Paul is famous for his quizzing ability on the ITV gameshow
Fans are accustomed to seeing Paul in his Saturday Night Fever-style ensemble, taking on teams from the public as they pit their wits against the Chaser in a bid to take home the cash pot.
He is currently ranked 14th in the World Quizzing Championships and is also a successful stand-up comedian.
The throwback has emerged after The Sinnerman was shocked by an 82-year-old X-rated confession on the show last week.

He congratulated Graham on his busy love life
Graham, a retired pub landlord from Neath, came on the show hoping to scoop some prize money to take his new girlfriend on a Caribbean cruise.
Telling the story of how they met, he recalled; "12 months ago I was on a cruise and I met a lovely lady from up north. We clicked and we get on great together."
Host Bradley Walsh cheekily quipped: "When you say you clicked, was that the zimemr frames whacking together?" at which point Graham laughed: "No, my hips!"
The Chaser later chipped in, saying: "Can I say, it's always sobering to meet an 82-year-old with a busier love life than I have. Congratulations Graham."
