‘My wife would kill me' – Kyren Wilson makes vow after ‘silly' snooker shot
Wilson opened up about being in a 'dark place' IF LOOKS COULD WIL 'My wife would kill me' – Kyren Wilson makes vow after 'silly' snooker shot KYREN WILSON will not attempt a 'silly no-look' shot in high-pressurised situations or if big money is on the line – because he says his wife 'would kill me'. The Warrior is flying home from China £210,000 richer after lifting the Shanghai Masters following a 11-9 victory in the final over Ali Carter. Advertisement 3 Wilson won the Shanghai Masters Credit: Getty 3 Kyren Wilson joked his wife Sophie would 'kill' him if he tried more trickshots Credit: PA In his first match of the season, a 6-5 second-round win over Si Jiahui, Wilson was on 97 in the final-frame decider with one ball left on the table. Unexpectedly, he decided to 'entertain' the crowd by turning his head to the side, as if it was an exhibition, as he cued up for the century break. That final black, which was on its spot, was missed and it meant there was no seventh century in that clash, which would have been a record for a match consisting of 11 frames. Wilson, 33, was unaware that had he potted the ball normally it would have gone down in the record books. Advertisement READ MORE IN SNOOKER GONE TO POT Referee forced to interrupt Shanghai Masters final to 'have a word' with fan The Kettering cueist had no regrets about his antics and his priority, given the frame had been sealed, was 'to have a little bit of fun' and 'do things a little bit differently'. However, speaking to SunSport following his first title success of the season, Wilson admits he would NOT do this again if the ball he was aiming for had more riding on it. Considering how much money could be on the line in the future, he would be in serious trouble at home if he reattempted the cheeky shot again. The world No2 said: 'Every ounce of me would love to say, yes, I'll do it again. But, no. Advertisement BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 'At the end of the day, I'm a professional. I wouldn't do it in a winning moment. 'It's all well and good doing it on a century, but no, I couldn't do it in a winning moment. Not if there was a trophy on the line. Kyren Wilson tells SunSport how he suffered breakdown in front of wife and turned to hypnotherapist Chris O'Connor for help 'Not only that, I think my wife would kill me. Maybe if I get to the deciding frame and I need the black for a century… Advertisement 'I was meant to be on talkSPORT the next day to talk about it. "Unfortunately they couldn't get through because of the signal. There was a typhoon and they couldn't get to me. 'It was all about that debate: Would I have done it again? Trying to do something different in snooker gets people talking. It's all good for the game.' The Englishman became world champion in May 2024 and then played as much as he could, winning four ranking titles in the 2024-25 season. Advertisement Yet his Crucible campaign was a disaster – it was ended in the first round, on day one, by debutant Lei Peifan as the Curse claimed another victim. The next few weeks were extremely difficult but it was only by playing in exhibitions around the globe and the love and support of his family that pulled him through the 'dark' times. The father-of-two – next in action in the Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters in Jeddah – said: 'It really, really hurt to lose in the first round. 'I was in quite a dark place for a couple of weeks. Advertisement 'I was meant to be working for the BBC straight after that. I did one day and said to the producer, I've got to get out of here. I can't do it. I don't want to be here. 'I had some exhibitions which took my mind off it fairly quickly. We travelled all over. We went to Dubai, China, Hong Kong and then Helsinki. So, thank god for that really. 'God knows what I'd have been doing otherwise. 'I gave so much last year. It was important to kick on this year and start in the same vein.

Rebel Wilson attacks ‘spiteful, toxic' producers after they sue her in Australia over directorial debut ‘The Deb'
The Pitch Perfect star posted the statement on Instagram yesterday morning after UK-based financiers AI Film lodged fresh legal proceedings against her in the New South Wales Supreme Court, claiming she sabotaged the film's release and made defamatory claims in an attempt to force them to sell her the rights. The Sydney-born actor and director (45) claimed the lawsuit is 'complete nonsense' and part of a wider campaign of 'bullying and harassment' by the film's producers Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron and Vince Holden. I'm so proud of the film 'I've nurtured this project for five years. To say otherwise is complete nonsense. I'm so proud of the film,' she wrote. The legal drama over The Deb – a feel-good Australian musical – began in mid-2024 when Wilson publicly accused her fellow producers of embezzlement, sexual misconduct and blocking the film's distribution in a post on Instagram. Her allegations were denied, and Ghost, Cameron and Holden swiftly launched a defamation lawsuit in Los Angeles. Now, with that case still ongoing, AI Film has filed a second lawsuit in Australia, claiming Wilson's real aim was to devalue the production and pressure them into handing over their stake to her company, Camp Sugar. They allege Wilson threatened injunctions and made damaging statements knowing they were false – including to potential distributors – all to gain 'personal financial advantage'. In an Instagram rebuttal, the actor accused the financiers of having 'the power to release the film' but failing to do so 'for a year' since it was completed. 'Instead, in my opinion, they have continued this spiteful toxic behaviour,' she added. The film, which premiered to warm reviews at the Toronto Film Festival last year, remains unreleased – something Wilson said is punishing the cast and crew who worked to bring it to life. ADVERTISEMENT 'What would you do if you were me and a young cast member says she's living with a producer and had a bath and shower with them and feels uncomfortable?' she said. I'd do the same again. I believe in a safe and inclusive workplace Wilson also claimed crew had told her money was being stolen from the production. 'I reported both things. I'd do the same again. I believe in a safe and inclusive workplace,' she added. Lead actor Charlotte MacInnes – named in Wilson's earlier claims – has denied any misconduct, filing a statement in the US court last November calling the allegations 'completely false and absurd'. Wilson yesterday revealed she will release the film's first song, titled F**k My Life, in protest. Despite the legal row, Wilson said she has moved on and is currently directing her second feature. Still, she added that she was posting about The Deb 'with tears in my eyes and a heavy heart'. 'I just want this movie to come out and for all the amazingly talented contributors to be recognised,' she said.

Rebel Wilson SUED over unreleased movie as she launches tearful rant at ‘bully' film bosses
EMOTIONAL Rebel Wilson says "it makes no sense" after the production company behind her directorial debut, The Deb, filed a lawsuit against her in Australia. AI Film is reportedly accusing Wilson, 44, of deliberately sabotaging the project by spreading false information online. 3 Rebel; Wilson is being sued by a production company in Australia Credit: Getty 3 The lawsuit has left Wilson confused Credit: Instagram / rebelwilson Papers submitted to New South Wales supreme court , seen by Wilson has responded on Instagram , calling it "bullying" and that "it makes no sense". She continued: "As the director, producer and co-star who nurtured a project called THE DEB for 5 years from a 3 page idea into a gorgeous feature film - I want nothing more than to have this film released and have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to get this to happen. To say otherwise is complete nonsense. I'm so proud of the film!" Last year, The Deb producers Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron and Vince Holden launched a defamation lawsuit against Wilson in the US after she accused them of plotting to embezzle 900,000 AUD from the film's budget and Ghost of sexually harassing star Charlotte MacInnes. Wilson countersued in October alleging a "troubling pattern of egregious and illicit behaviours, including theft, bullying , and sexual misconduct." Rejecting the claims involving her being the victim of harassment, MacInnes later filed a declaration calling Wilson' claims about her "completely false and absurd". In November, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Thomas Long rejected Wilson's request to have the defamation case against her dismissed. Updating fans today on her latest legal battle, Wilson wrote: "I've moved on, now directing my 2nd movie and loving it. But regarding THE DEB all I can literally say is 'F**K my life' with tears in my eyes and a heavy heart. Most read in Celebrity "Everyone who worked on the movie and who knows me KNOWS I put my blood, sweat and tears into this. Everyone knows I'm a 'truth teller' when it comes to vile people in the industry. Rebel Wilson breaks down in tears in emotional Virgin Radio interview with Chris Evans - after war over new book "I just want this movie to come out and for all the amazingly talented contributors to be recognised for their sensational work! At least we had the Toronto premiere - and at least now you can all see the opening of the film. Posting it now! Rebs x." AI Film is reportedly seeking damages, a formal apology, and an order stopping Wilson from making unsubstantiated claims relating to all parties involved with The Deb. 3 The actress's directorial debut, The Deb, is held up in a legal battle Credit: Getty
