On the page, the quizzer, who announced earlier this year he is battling Parkinson’s, said: “I’m getting married on December 14th. I don’t want gifts. My flat is tiny and I don’t have room.
“My nephew Leo is severely autistic and is receiving superb care at St Nicholas School in Croydon.”
He went on to reveal that the specialist school, which works with “children with learning difficulties, autism, Down syndrome and communication difficulties” had increased in popularity and therefore needed a “major rebuild.”
He added that they are looking to “create a sensory garden” to “stimulate and inspire pupils through touch, smell, sight, taste and hearing, as well as providing a space for calming, learning and enjoyment.”
The star concluded the story by asking: “No sandwich toasters, crockery, or box sets of Mad Men for Olly and me, thanks.
“Please can we raise as much money as humanly possible to improve the lives of children with learning difficulties.”
Paul announced his engagement in January this year, revealing the happy news on Twitter.
