Stuart Bingham has Crucible in stitches after finding odd object on World Snooker Championships table and blaming rival
STUART BINGHAM had the Crucible crowd in stitches at the World Snooker Championships with a bizarre discovery on the table.
Bingham, 47, took on Jack Lisowski in the last 16 in Sheffield.
But there was a brilliant moment that had everyone giggling during a Bingham break.
The Basildon potter walked around the table away from the cue ball.
And then he leant forward and carefully picked up a stray hair from the baize.
Bald Bingham lifted the hair gently into the air before flicking it away on to the floor.
Ball-Run then immediately joked: “Not mine,” before indicating that it must be his opponent Lisowski’s.
While 2015 snooker world champ Bingham may be follically-challenged, Lisowski has a full head of thick hair.
And Cheltenham’s Jack-Pot could not resist breaking out into laughter along with the fans in the stands.
The commentator then chirped: “It wasn’t one of yours, Stuart.”
