This is the bit where I get to tell you a little bit more about my life on and off the table.

Of course, snooker is a massive part of everything I do, and I wouldn't have it any other way, but there is quite a lot that I do that doesn't involve reds and blacks.

Away from the table, I really love my golf, both playing and watching. There was a time in my teens when I almost swapped to play golf full time instead of snooker but as I can't chip or putt that wouldn't have been a very good idea (haha!). I currently play off a 5 handicap and have been known to shoot the odd under-par score but generally mid 70s is my mark.

I'm also a keen pianist, although my repertoire isn't that big at the moment. Currently I can play a lot of Elton John and Beatles stuff with the odd classic thrown in. It's something that I love and has been in our family for a long time, so I feel like I'm carrying on a tradition.

When I'm not practising or competing, I spend time with my friends or family and I'm also acting as mentor for two of my nephews, as they embark on their own sno
