Ronnie O'Sullivan announces surprise new career move after leaving UK
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Ronnie O'Sullivan has confirmed a surprising career move by launching his own YouTube channel. The seven-time world champion has been sporadic in choosing where and when he will play this season and has been vocal about his mental health when it comes to snooker. O'Sullivan pulled out of the Masters, which he was due to defend, and a string of other tournaments before returning to action, armed with a new cue, at the World Championship. Despite making the semi-finals, the Rocket cut a frustrated figure for the most part, complaining about both his form and equipment. He even took the drastic step of having the tip and ferrule replaced during his last-four defeat to eventual champion Zhao Xintong. After being crushed 17-7 by the Chinese superstar, the Rocket announced he intended to spend more time in the Middle East and said he planned to pick and choose which tournaments he enters. He has now engaged in another interest away from the table that he'll be able to fulfil wherever he goes by launching his own YouTube channel. With a link to a clip of his momentous 1000th professional century in the Players Championship final in 2019, O'Sullivan wrote on X: 'Finally gone and got a YouTube channel… I will be uploading all sorts here from some of my favourite shots and matches to me cooking to me meeting and chatting to some interesting people. Hope you guys enjoy it!!' However, upon visiting the channel, the only clip available was one of him hitting a 147 in practice while in Saudi Arabia before the World Championship. The 1000th century break clip appeared to have been removed. Still, the announcement went down well with many of his 564,000 X followers. One replied: 'Subbed already. Can't wait for more content. Good luck!' Another added: 'Good luck Ron, keep grafting & playing for as long as you can.' A third quipped: 'Ronnie O'Sullivan cooking must be Fast Food! Speaking after his World Championship exit, O'Sullivan explained his immediate plans, which involved getting away from the UK. 'I think I'm going to be moving out of the UK this year. A new life somewhere else," said the Essex potter, who has a snooker academy in his name in Saudi Arabia. 'I'll still try and play snooker but I don't know what the future looks like for me really. I'm moving away soon so I'll just see how it goes. There's a lot of more important things in life to worry about than a game of snooker. 'For me, it's a big part of my life, but I've got to try and figure out what my future looks like, whether it's playing or not. I'll be moving away to the Middle East but we'll see how it goes.
