James Wade locked in another ‘FARTGATE' storm as disgusting act caught on live TV and called out by referee
The World No.10 kicked up a stink in a clash with fellow veteran star Peter Wright in Leicester.

Wade let rip during his 6-5 win over 'Snakebite' to reach the quarter-finals on Tuesday afternoon.
Wright stepped back and laughed uncomfortably, but Wade's joke quickly backfired when the match caller told him the clash was being televised.
Referee Owen Binks then informed the players: 'Oh boy, okay then… This is a streamed match guys.'
Wade claimed: 'It slipped out.' And then added: 'Give it a second.'
Wright thought it needed more than a second, though.
And Wade tried to prompt him back onto the oche, saying: 'Go ahead. Do you want nine more arrows?'
It's not the first time the 42-year-old has passed wind during a match.
He did the same less than a year ago in September 2024, also at the Players Championship.

On that occasion he claimed it was his SHOES that made the noise.
He wrote on social media: 'I feel I must address a situation following my run to the semi-finals of PC22 today.

'Footage has emerged of me doing what appears to be a 'shart' at the end of one of my matches.
'It was actually the Velcro on my new trainers.
"I now consider this matter put to bed as don't wish to talk about it again.'

Huddersfield sink Leicester in shoot-out to set up trip to Sunderland
Huddersfield started strongly and Ruben Roosken and David Kasumu both had strong penalty shouts turned down early on after both appearing to be tripped inside the box. The hosts held Leicester at bay until nine minutes after the break, when right-back Hamza Choudhury smashed a half-cleared ball into the far top corner. That brought the game to life and Huddersfield reacted best, with Roosken awarded a penalty after Choudhury brought him down. Dion Charles' spot-kick was saved, but 19-year-old midfielder Dan Vost headed home the rebound in the 65th minute for his first senior goal. Leicester restored their lead three minutes later, with Stephy Mavididi squaring for fellow substitute Harry Winks to curl into the bottom corner. Again Huddersfield found a response, with youngster Cameron Ashia claiming his second goal in as many games by curling a fantastic effort into the top corner for 2-2. That sent the game to a penalty shoot-out, where Huddersfield prevailed 3-2 as Bilal El Khannouss hit the post and Terriers goalkeeper Lee Nicholls saved two Leicester efforts. Huddersfield's reward for their progress is a trip to Premier League Sunderland in the second round.
